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

    Hi Greg, thanks so much for your reply it was truly an immense reply thanks. I will file that away as lots of useful information there. I feel a bit silly now as after trying things till 3 am I then proceeded to notice that the power plug was not fully pushed in on the computer, and woe and behold that was it battery completely flat, how embarrassing. But I really mean it you have been a mine of information, sorry to of put you to the task of giving me all that useful information. It shows what a wonderful site this is.

    Regards Trevor

    Take care.

    Sir, Actually I'm unable to turn it on using my power button.

    Laptop specifications:

    Model : HP Laptop 15s-dr2019tu

    Inbuilt battery

    Is there any other way I could turn my laptop on?

    Unplug power and remove battery, press and hold power button for 30 seconds to release all power from circuitry, plug back in and power up to see if any change.

    for me it was a thermal shutdown, it knew it was gonna fry so it suspended where i was at. It protected the file I was exporting and when it said the word

    Locking it shut down, thankfully when it was turned back on it resumed at the point it was at saving my work. It is an amazing feature.
