1. Open Power Options Properties as shown in the following page. Make sure that System Standby and System Hibernates are set to Never.
2. Here's a funny one:
Q810719 -"Your Computer Returns to Standby Two Minutes After It Resumes"
While in standby it's like the cat touched the keyboard and after two minutes the PC sleeps again.
Good Luck,

Hi,
I have a HP a220n, my PC was extremely slow recently and I decided to run a complete recovery (the one will reformat the drive). I had a 2nd harddrive, and I unplug the 2nd harddrive before I do the recovery (since I don't want the recovery to mess-up my 2nd drive, the drive was labelled in drive K: before I run the recovery)
After I run the recovery, I put the 2nd harddrive back, and I realized the 2nd drive is now labelled as drive G: But everything is running fine. The information in the 2nd drive is still there, PC runs as fast as before... except I realized, my PC now turn itself off to sleep mode. I have to press the "moon" button on the top-left-hand keyboard to turn the PC back on. The only thing I am suspicious, is the Microsoft PowerToys that I downloaded from Microsoft web site. Not sure if this has something to do with it.
I do not know why, anyone whom has this problem before or expert it this area can help?! Much appreciated!
