Computer restarts / Log out when he must sleep

I have not collected very much data on the models that this happens, but I noticed that when I leave my computer unused for a period of time it is restarted or disconnection when she needs to sleep.  Attached to power, I expect to 'wake up' my computer and find that I left him, with the same apps running, same Web sites, etc.  However the machine is disconnect me or restarts because when I come back I need to select the user and or enter my password.  The finder is reset to have left the apps I was running.  I'm not sure if the computer is restarted or just a disconnect.  In both cases it should be only sleep and I should be able to pick up where I left off.

I think I found the culprit. In the SECURITY AND PRIVACY Menu ADVANCED - he said "Logout after x minutes".  I have that turned off.  Think this should solve this problem.

    Hello
    I suggest you to see these steps:

    • Press right on your mouse button when your desktop is visible. A menu will appear.
    • Move your mouse to the bottom of the menu and click on the word "Properties".
    • Look at the tabs under the marked blue title bar "display properties". You should be able to see one marked "screen saver". Click the screen saver tab once. You should now see a small monitor.
    • Look for the dropdown next to the marked buttons 'Settings' and 'Preview '. Click on the arrow down on the right side of the menu drop down.
    • Look at the list of available screensavers. The first menu is marked '(none) '. Click on this title. Once you have clicked on the title, the "Apply" button will become operational.
    • Click on the button apply. Close the display properties window and the Control Panel window. You have now properly disabled your screen saver.

I held down the power button to turn off the computer, and then restart. About 6 weeks, the original internal hard drive has failed and was replaced by a SSD drive.

  • Basket empty automatically whenever I log out. How can I stop this so that I can empty it when I want to?

    When I delete the files they go in the trash and will stay there until I log out and switch on the computer.
    When I turn it back on and open a session in the basket is still empty.
    I can't find any settings to change that.
    Can someone advise?

    Hi Jack,

    Windows Vista does not clear the trash automatically on closing of session/reboots. This must be due to a third-party program (CCleaner / Zone Alarm clear function Cache) you have installed. You may need to consider starting applications and find which of them is the compensation the basket every time.

    the advantage of this feature to scan https is at least questionable. in order to make it work, avast has sort of a man-in-the-middle 'attack' in order to access the contents of the encrypted connection (firefox supports a feature called pinning of key which can be used by Web sites to address these MITM attacks and who also seems to pick up interference from AVAST).
    When you download files via a https connection, they will be analysed by the AV software once they land on your hard drive in any case. However, it should be the job of the Navigator to make it impossible to get infected by malicious software trying to surf around...

    Edit: Please try to restart the browser once again, it may take a new session for the change to take effect.

    The standard weather app on my iphone 6 has stopped working.  It shows just my wallpaper grayed out when I try to access.  The app can be restarted or deleted and reloaded?  If so, how?

    No, the soft part of the operating system, so it would mean reload the iOS together. Have you tried a forced reboot yet?

    Close all open applications by double-clicking the home button, and then drag to the top of the application window until it disappears from the screen.

    Reset your device: press and hold the home button and the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black, and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

    Originakl title: why my computer restart on its own?

    My computer keeps restarting on its own. It was working fine last night, but then I don't know what happened. It stays on for like a minute or less and then it restarts itself. I even tried to disable automatic reboot, but I did not have enough time and crashes whenever I have try to disable automatic reboot. So I went to safe mode and was able to do, but it did not work when I went back to the normal settings. How can I fix it?

    Hi Kate,

    -Have there been any changes made on the computer before the show?

    -Are you having the same problem in safe mode?

    I suggest the following steps and check.

    Method 1:

     

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    If the computer works very well in mode without failure, then follow method 2 and check.

    Step 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state.

    To help resolve the error message, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Please note: After troubleshooting, be sure to start your computer in normal mode by following step 7.

    If the problem persists, follow method 3.

     

    Method 3:

    Unplug all external devices connected to the computer, then check if you are able to start the computer normally.

    If the problem persists, check the observer event logs.

    Method 4: Check the Event Viewer logs by starting the computer in safe mode.

    There is a method to find which application causes the computer to stop.
    Windows vista includes the monitoring of the performance of start-up as well as analysis of the stopping performance.

    This information is easily accessible through Event Viewer.

    ·         Application logs and Services
