MSI Cyborg 15: How to Prevent Laptop from Sleeping and Adjust Power Settings

Accessing Power Settings

• ⚙️ Navigate to Settings on your MSI Cyborg 15 laptop.
• 💻 Select System, then choose Power & Battery to find the relevant options.

Configuring Sleep and Screen Timeouts

• ⏱️ Within the Power & Battery settings, you can adjust Screen timeout and Sleep timeout.
• 🔋 These settings can be configured separately for when the device is on battery versus plugged in.

Understanding Screen Off vs. Sleep Mode

• ⬛ Turning the screen off only blacks out the display without pausing background processes, and waking is as simple as pressing a key.
• 🔒 Sleep mode also turns off the screen but locks it, disables or slows down some processes, and requires a key press to resume.

Customizing Your Settings

• 🔌 For plugged-in mode, set the screen to turn off after 20 minutes and the device to never go to sleep.
• 🔋 On battery, you can set the screen to turn off after 10 minutes and the device to go to sleep after 25 minutes, or customize to your preference.
• ✅ These adjustments ensure your MSI Cyborg 15 stays active for downloads, presentations, or long tasks without interruption.
