Not CNC related, but I figured this must be where the computer gurus hang out.
I just (I know, I'm a little behind the curve) upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 10. Overall I am pleased. I like, for instance, the way it handles dual screens allowing me to have the task bar on both displays. My PC also seems to start and run a bit faster.
What I don't like is a very annoying habit of windows 10 to go to sleep if the PC has not been active for even a couple of minutes. It will not go to sleep if there is a video playing, but if I just step away from the keyboard for a few minutes I have to wake it up in order to get back to work. A real pain if I am working on a drawing and just need to step out in the shop to check something and have to start things back up when I return.
I have adjusted every power, sleep, hibernation, and screen saver setting I can find. I did a Google search on the problem and many are experiencing it, but I could not find a rock solid solution.
