covering the week's top tech stores
with a slight linux bias having trouble
sleeping the latest windows 10

select sleep
in the power menu or the win x menu
instead of sleeping the screen
simply turns off and my laptop does not
go to sleep even after leaving it alone

game hacks of the 90s first you need to

and install the pending updates
once they're in reboot your computer and
you should be good to go
with a working sleep mode
