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

    Dude.. we can’t see inside your computer.. The problem seems to be your battery is flat. 

    Its either (in order of probability)

    1. charger not plugged in
    2. charger is not charging (faulty)
    3. The charger cable or the connection on the laptop is faulty
    4. The battery in the laptop is faulty, shorted out inside.. 

    If the battery is faulty (not shorted out) the laptop would generally work on the charger.. So in most cases this seems to be a charger issue or your just dopey like me and let the battery go flat and did not realise 😂. 

    If the battery is shorted out then removing it may help, if its an external battery.. if its wired into the laptop you need some know how to start messing with it. If the battery had shorted out it could also damage the charger. If it’s partially shorted and just sucking power then it may take too much from the charger and leave not enough to boot the thing up again, in that case removing it would let it boot up most of the time. At least so you know to replace the battery.

    I don’t know 100% but i would assume the laptop has a charging circuit inside, that could also cause power issues. I dont think that’s likley or common though.

    Check your laptops battery condition.. If it is not working then remove the battery.. In my case my laptop battery was not working so I removed the battery and it is working fine now 

    I dont understand plz elaborate your answer did i need to change my battery with new one or just remove it and fix it again
