Answer 4

Years ago, I got the advise from a computer expert, never to set the computer in sleep mode. Either leave it on or switch it off.

When you do not use it for a couple of hours, but you know that you will use it again that day, leave it on. Set after how many minutes monitor has to switch off. When you do not use pc for the rest of the day, switch it off. but do not put it in sleep mode.

Can give problems when you want to start up pc again.
