Windows 7 brings lot of new features and changes in the way Windows work. One of the features which though isn’t new is the auto sleep mode in which the system gets in sleep mode after 10 mins. This particular feature was giving me troubles yesterday when i was trying to download Microsoft office 2010 beta profession plus.
As my Internet connection is not so fast and the file was around 700 mb , so i just started the download and switched off the monitor and went to sleep. But when i returned back to system after 6-7 hours, i found the download just got paused after 10 minutes, the reason being auto sleep mode. The system went into sleep mode when i left it.
HOW TO DISBALE AUTO SLEEP MODE
To disable it or change its configuration, Navigate to Control pane l>> Power options. Then you will see the option of selecting the power plan. By default, The “Balanced” option is checked.
Just on right side of it, click on “Change plan settings”.
In the settings, just change the time when you want the computer to sleep. You can change it to “Never” if you want to disable it fully. Otherwise change to a value suitable to you e.g. 1 hour, 2 hour etc.
Save your settings and you are done. Now the computer can download your big files even if you are not on it.

Very useful post, thank you, auto-sleep should not be a default when it leads to glitched up Windows Resume Loader pages. And thank you Microsoft for another flawed operating system.
