    Hi

    I am new to this forum but I hope someone may be able to help me and others who have the same problem.

    I have recently purchased a Lenovo Flex 10 Dual-Mode Notebook which came pre-installed with Wiindows 8. I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and then the problems started.

    Problem:
    When I am running a disk cleaning program or I am away from my Notebook for more than 10 minutes the Notebook goes into sleep mode and I have to hard reset the system every time which is a problem as any program I have been running recently is stopped and has to be restarted which means I have to sit by my Netbook at all times to swipe the mouse pad to stop it going into sleep mode! Lenovo state this is a Windows 8.1 program and does not support it and will only support Windows 8. THIS IS NOT GOOD AND MANY OF US ARE GETTING ANNOYED!!

    All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Suzi :mad:

    control panel > power options: turn off energy saving mode or look into to settings which allow you to adjust any kind of behaviour of your system there
