I have tablet with windows 8.1, and I set it to never sleep, but sometimes when I lock it, it will sleep after about 2 hours... How to let it not sleep?

Disable sleep in:

Control Panel > System > Power Options > Change Plan > Put Computer to Sleep

set to Never, for more info see this page.

If above not worked, try solution from this post, it says:

at first you must set value of Attributes = dword: 00000002 in

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\7516b95f-f776-4464-8c53-06167f40cc99\8EC4B3A5-6868-48c2-BE75-4F3044BE88A7]

and then in Power Options > Advanced Power Settings in the Display item appears Console lock display off timeout in which we set the necessary time.

Thank you, it worked sometime but then reversed to default automatically. Now I just fully disabled lock screen app by gpedit, and the problem is solved. – Sam – 2017-01-13T09:03:16.100
