    Computer sleeping before it's told to
    « on: May 21, 2020, 07:28:30 PM »
    The computer sleeps at around 20 minutes of idling instead of when it’s told to (to never sleep). This is when plugged in. Any ideas on what I can do?

    It's a Dell XPS 15 9570 with windows 10. Attached is a picture of my power settings.

      I think I've realized how to solve this issue. In case anybody has this issue too, my problem was I had a Chrome extension that was specifically overriding power settings. I thought that app was only being used for my Chromebook but then realized it's also used by this Windows computer too.
