If you've set your PC to sleep after 20 minutes, but it isn't working, make sure you've applied the settings to both battery power and when your PC is plugged in. You may also want to check your power plan settings.

Sleep settings are not applying on Samsung PC

Note
Please refer to our other PC guide if you are trying to put your PC to sleep when the lid is closed or when using the Power button.
1

Open Power & sleep settings.

On your PC, select the Start menu in the task bar. Begin to type Edit power plan, and select it when it appears.
2

Adjust your settings.

Choose your desired time for both screen and sleep depending on whether the PC is plugged in or running on battery power.
3

Change advanced power settings.

If your settings are already adjusted but are not working correctly, select Change advanced power settings.
4

Change the sleep power options.

In the Power Options window, expand the Sleep section. Select and expand Sleep after. Select the displayed minutes, and then change the minutes. If the time is already what you want, change it to another time, and then change it back. You can do the same for the other Sleep options. When you’re finished, select Apply, and then select OK.

Contact Microsoft.

This function is completely controlled by Windows. If you still have issues after performing the previous steps, contact Microsoft for further assistance.

Laptop batteries will live longer if you don't charge them to 100%. For this reason, Samsung PCs include technology to limit the battery's maximum charge to 85% on purpose, so the battery will not fully charge. While we recommend leaving this feature on, it can be turned off if you'd prefer your battery to charge to 100%, such as before a long trip

HDMI is a common connector for video. Monitors, TVs, and projectors all use this standard. TVs usually have built-in speakers, but this may not be the case for any other devices, so make sure it has speakers before continuing.

Pressing the Fn key turns the Function Keys into hotkeys (or shortcuts) for a number of system functions. For instance, Fn + F2 will darken your screen and Fn + F3 will brighten it. If the keys are not responding as expected, they can be easily fixed by adjusting the settings or checking for available updates.
