Downloading a large file(s) while your device is unattended.
You may want to let a large download complete (while you feed the cat), leave a bunch of of files uploading Google Drive (while you play with the cat) or need to maintain connection to a web server or chat protocol (after the cat commandeers your lap). Why Disable Sleep Mode on a Chromebook?Ĭhrome OS doesn’t offer a way to control power settings. You can’t override the timeout by plugging in a power cord, either.īut there are instances where you may want to keep your Chromebook from sleeping: That said, there may be times when you want to disable sleep mode on your Chromebook. When you’re ready you can pick up your Chromebook, open the lid, and instantly carry on from where you left off (and with Easy Unlock enabled you don’t even have to enter your password, either). If left in sleep mode for an extended period your Chromebook will shut down fully to conserve even more battery. It save battery life by turning off the screen and Wifi and suspends apps and power-supping background processes when they’re not needed. When you close the lid of your Chromebook it enters sleep mode - but what if you don’t want it to?Ĭhromebooks automatically enter sleep mode when the lid is clammed shut or the device is left doing nothing for around 6 minutes or so (known as the ‘sleep timeout’).
