    1. Open Power Options to change the advanced power settings, and expand Sleep and Hibernate after. (see screenshot below)

    2. Under Hibernate after, set the Setting (Minutes) to Never. (see screenshot above)

    3. Under Allow hybrid sleep, set Setting to Off. (see screenshot below step 4)

    4. Click on OK. (see screenshot below step 4)
