HI all,

Sleep mode, what a fantastic revolution for computer users!!!!

For years, I have wished I could turn on a computer, and it would come 
on right away, in 5 seconds or less, then, I found out about sleep mode.

It does what it says folks, when I press a key, the computer comes on in 
5 seconds, I timed it, it's incredible, and with my schedule, literally, 
every second, counts!!

And if folks want to know how to use sleep mode, here is how to use it:

step 1. Press alt f4, and you're in the menu, that says restart, shut 
down, or sleep.

step 2. Up arrow to sleep.

step 3, then, press enter, and your computer will go into sleep mode.

When you're ready to use it, just press any key, I use escape and the 
computer comes out of sleep mode!!!

It's incredible.

Now, my question. My problem is, this morning I come into my living 
room, and my computer is running, so, it came out of sleep mode, it must 
have been doing an update, in the middle of the night.

My question is, in the power options, I have my computer set to never 
turn off, but there are, of course, different options.

I'm thinking about, setting it to 30 minutes, and then it can go to 
sleep if there's no activity, but the problem is, what about Microsoft 
doing updates? Who knows how long it will take to do it's updates, I 
don't want it to turn off in the middle of an update.

I'm asking this, because I want Microsoft to give me updates, but I 
don't want the computer staying on, after it does the update, or 
updates, I want it to go back to sleep.

Any help is appreciated, but I do love sleep mode, and I want to 
continue to use it.

Harry
