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

Normally I would be following this thread and aware by now it is a trending issue to escalate it, however they recently moved me to another "Independent Advisor" unit that stops getting notificaitions when it times out there. So I am thankful that you brought it back to my attention and I will be researching it now and moving to escalate it soon.
What I need in the mean time is to know the results of those still suffering from this of following the steps in my first post here for unexpected Suspends, and also in your new thread here System goes into hibernation for no reason - Microsoft Community where I gave Sleep troubleshooting steps that could also reveal important clues.
Additionally try the steps here:
