How to disable/turn off sleep mode on windows 8 #1
As we all know windows is a pain in the ass when you are trying to download a large file and you want your computer to stay on as long as possible, and then after 30 minutes it goes into sleep mode...
Well this tutorial should teach you how to completely disable sleep mode.

1) Open up a random explorer window or a "Folder".

2) Paste this location into your the bar on the top.
Quote:Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options

3) Now that the power cP has opened we need to click on "change plan settings" next to "Balance"

4) In the next window, you just need to change theoption of ” Put the computer to sleep” to “Never” or a time period that suits you, may be 4 hours or more.

I hate the sleep mode, then i've had issues after the update, that it goes into this sleep/wake up loop type thing and wont start.

You should change the title of this TUT, as this is the same in every Win OS that's commonly used.

The benchmarks show its faster, its more updated, so better security, and if the only thing you dislike is the new UI, you can mod it.

It's not faster.
It's slow, blocky, ugly, and no start button, also it comes bloated.

Test results don't lie, and as I said if you don't like the new look you can modify it. Although once you try it, you'll hate your start button.
