Windows 10 disconnects network during sleep? Is there a way to keep network connection active even when the PC is in sleep mode? In this tutorial we’ll show you 3 ways to prevent Windows 10 from disconnecting network during sleep.<\/p>\n

Method 1: Keep Network Connection Active When in Sleep Mode (On Battery & Plugged in)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Open the Power Options<\/a>. Locate and expand the “Network connectivity in Standby<\/strong>” setting. By default, this setting is hidden and you can make it shown with this trick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Click to select Enable<\/strong> for both “On battery<\/strong>” and “Plugged in<\/strong>“. Once saving the changes, your computer should stay connected to the network when in sleep mode.<\/p>\n

Method 2: Prevent Sleep Mode from Disconnecting Network to Save Battery Power<\/strong><\/p>\n

Open the Settings app<\/a> and navigate to System<\/strong> -> Power & sleep<\/strong>. On the right-side pane, click the option “When my PC is asleep and on battery power, disconnect from the network<\/strong>” and change it to Never<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Note that this option is only available for Windows 10 laptops and tablets with built-in battery.<\/p>\n

Method 3: Use GPO to Allow Network Connectivity during Connected-Standby<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor<\/a> and browse to:
    \nComputer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Power Management -> Sleep Settings<\/code><\/li>\n
  2. On the right pane, you can find the two settings: “Allow network connectivity during connected-standby (on battery)<\/strong>” and “Allow network connectivity during connected-standby (plugged in)<\/strong>“. Double-click on each of them to modify.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  3. Select Enabled<\/strong> and click OK<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  4. Finally make a rebooting to apply the policy settings. Note<\/strong>: These changes will make the “Network connectivity in Standby<\/strong>” setting in the Power Options greyed out and you’re also unable to change the setting for “When my PC is asleep and on battery power, disconnect from the network<\/strong>” in the Settings app.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If your computer still loses network connection in sleep mode, open the Device Manager<\/a> and access the Properties of your Ethernet\/Wi-Fi adapter. Make sure the “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power<\/a><\/strong>” option is unchecked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
