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

randomly and during any activity (gaming , watching a video ..etc) , 

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

    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.
