It is important to highlight that the option to suspend in Windows is responsible for saving all the work that is open, the programs, the status of the programs among other options in the RAM memory, the random access memory. So RAM is a fast memory so that when the computer is suspended, everything is saved there and when the computer is turned on again all the information is quickly recovered.
Emphasizing that the computer must be connected to the electrical current and in case of having a laptop it must have a battery. Since it is necessary to administer the electrical current to the memory so that it can maintain the state. Because if at some point you find yourself without electricity you can erase everything, so the suspend saves everything but still consumes a little energy.
On the other hand, we must bear in mind that with Windows 10 we can turn off the computer screen without having to suspend as well as it is possible to enable or disable the suspension. Therefore, below we will tell you how to change the screen sleep time.
Easily change screen sleep time in Windows 10
Initially it should be noted that the suspension time is uncomfortable for some users because they do not know how to change it. For this reason we will explain below the steps to follow in order to modify it.
First you must enter the computer and on the desktop you have to right click to open a small window where you will find several options, among which “personalization” stands out, which you have to click.

In it, the screen shutdown time and screen suspension time will be displayed in which you have to choose the time preferred by the user or if you prefer, you can select “never” to avoid the annoyance of suspension. When you carry out the procedure, you can exit that screen and close the configuration, so when you are again located on the desktop, you can right-click again and this time you click on “update”.
Then you can enter the previous customization option to verify if the process was established and carried out correctly.
