Is it possible to stop Windows 8 snaps every idle minute?

Whenever I leave the computer (windows 8) or simply turn for more than a minute, the computer locks and I have to reconnect. Help! I have not found solutions to work! Battery advanced options did not work, my computer is supposed to never turn the screen or go to sleep! However, it blocks every minute! I got this computer 3 days only! and windows 8 for the same amount of time!

My suggestion:
Since there is no apparent working solution, Microsoft should do a windows 8 update fixing this problem. The update should prevent the computer hang when idle, except if specified to do so. The update MUST be turned off in the month, or I'll lose my patience.
Even though I love Microsoft, if they don't fix Windows 8, they will begin to lose steam and get left behind in the world of technology. They must step up their game and give people what they want and what they need. from effectively controlling the forums. and this post.

I found this way. Right-click on an empty space in the desktop, click Personalize, go to the screensaver below on the right, then when the pop up screen saver settings, go down to where it says wait and change what that time you want. Even I don't think that you need a screen saver turned on to make it work. It works for me, I have my computer lock now after ten minutes of inactivity.

  • Windows Explorer crashes every 2 Minutes like clockwork

    Hello

    A quick Google search, it seems a lot of people have this problem, but with a few differences.
    My problem is that for these last two days, Windows Explorer has started crashing, almost like clockwork, almost every 2 minutes or more (as confirmed its reliability). I tried everything I know to find the problem, but came to nothing.
    Here are my specs:
    Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
    Intel Core 2 Duo PC TG5750 @ 2.00GHZ
    RAM: 2.0 GB
    I tried to run Windows Update to see if that would help, but it's not download anything. It just happens to 0KB and 0% and nothing happens. Naturally, when Windows Explorer hangs, it must update Windows with it.
    I ran a few system cleared my startup speed performance, but nothing else. He does not come back on other potential failures.
    I looked at doing a system restore, but it says that there is no restore point. I created one, but this is obviously useless as the restore point is now in the scenario where Windows Explorer crashes.
    I can still run programs like Outlook or Google Chrome, but Windows Explorer plant, yet no matter what I do. I have installed all the programs in the last two days so I'm really at a loss as to what is happening.
    I also restarted my computer several times, to no effect.
    Other that completely re install Windows using the installation disc, I don't know.

  • How to stop windows that open up behind the taskbar and sidebar

    I was wondering if there was a way to stop windows from behind the taskbar and sidebar of Vista SP2, I currently have my taskbar on the right side on the same width as my sidebar, located on the left side of the screen. Both have been set to keep above other windows. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

    Even if it meant having the image of the shrunken desktop so it fit perfectly into the space remaining.

    Also, is it possible to have a mobile wallpaper?

    Oddities of the operating system, I think. Having the bar spots on the side at least gives you a chance to save a program window. I run the taskbar double wide at the top, and some programs insist on opening umderneath it. I have to resize the task bar if I want to be able to move the window anywhare. Also happens in Win 7...

    DreamScene animated backgrounds were for Vista Ultimate only, but Stardock has called the Scapes desktop that will run on other versions of Vista, but you must pay for it.

  • My thunderbird (windows 8) essentially has stopped working. More than one minute to open an email - all other functions have similar delays. What should I do?

    For some reason, thunderbird (windows 8) essentially has stopped working. More than one minute to open an email - all other functions have similar delays. I tried to archive, but I get a message that says that a script has stopped working. He does the same in thunderbird safe mode. My old computer (XP) works very well. I can't find my profiles on windows 8 to rebuild the database world.

    Follow-up: McAfee was the problem. I contacted them via chat. Remotely, they took control of my computer and changed the settings. TBird works fine now.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

    Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 computer? I am currently using windows XP.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    Do you really think on installing Windows 7 over several years old Satellite Pro 6100?

    In my opinion, it won't work because it is too old and not fast enough. Newer operating system that is supported by Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for good old classic.

    So just to be satisfied with Windows XP, it's a good choice for older computers! :)

    Well cordially

    Hello

    Of course, you can install Windows 7 on your good old classic.
    But the fact is that there is no official driver Win 7 on the page of the European driver Toshiba, it seems that you have to collect the pilots in his own hand.

    But in general this should not be a problem of submission.
    WLAN, LAN drivers can be downloaded from the pages of chip manufacturer driver touchpad can be used in other models of computers, laptops and Toshiba as VAP (value added package) Flash cards tools or similar

  • Satellite L650-14F - it is possible to install Windows XP

    Hello and sorry for my language.

    It is possible to install Windows XP on this laptop?
    I have the Satellite L650-14F and I want to install XP 64. but the problem is, with the drivers. are they compatible?

    Help, please
    Thank you

    Yes, you can install Win xp on this laptop, but you will need to use the drivers for Win XP 64-bit.

    European driver Toshiba page provides accurate drivers for 32it version, so you have to collect drivers 64-bit with your own hands...

    But to be honest; I do not recommend using Win XP 64 bit... either you choose 32 bit or Win 7 64 bit.

    Win XP 64 bit was not so popular as the 32-bit version and most of the applications and the software is compatible with the 32-bit version.
