2 days ago i upgraded my windows 10 to build 1903 , since then ,

screen with the word "locking" in the middle appears for half a second and my laptop goes into sleep mode
and then i have to turn it on again
this never happened before the update , i tried to reset and fresh start but, nothing worked , and now i can't get back to previous build
what do i do ?
HELP , PLEASE
SOLUTION
Hey guys
So, I solved the issue (for me, at least) a long time ago but forgot to report back. My apologies
Basically,
Settings -> power and sleep -> additional power settings -> change advanced power settings -> battery
Then, change critical battery action and low battery action to do nothing both on battery and plugged in
I don't know if others already solved the problem In a different way, but i Hope that helps
Have a good day

Hi,
I am also facing the same issue. My laptop is locking automatically after 2-3 minutes of starting the computer. It is not shutting down but locking. After staring again it is again locking.
Please help me in this. Please give satisfactory solution for this.
I have the same issue, has been persistent since at least September of 2019, short, 1.5 second locking screen then sleep mode, mine has the added benefit of not responding to inputs other than the power button. Though a quick tap to the power switch will usually allow me to recover my progress with only a slight delay, more often than not I have to completely shut down and reboot my PC when this happens, with my luck it happens mid game most of the time so it really sucks considering this is an ASUS gaming laptop.
Did that. Still happens
im not sure. its just that my problem is my laptop randomly locks and goes sleep. doesnt matter if i open videos or play games. it just randomly sleeps. when i set the critical action to do nothing it stops and i also set the battery critical notification to never.
