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

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,
So i tested one more thing, through cmd i disabled hybernate, now interestingly the system lasts for more than 15 mins, but gets shut down automatically meaning no warning has been thrown, it seems the system doesnot detect the laptop charger and somehow keeps count on the battery percentage and when the battery drains completely it gets shutdown..... i am not sure how to reach to people who can solve this and hoping you would know a proper channel.... the feedback i gave has a character limit in its description box so i gave the link of this forum, i hope someone finds it soon and fix this annoying bug.
Thankyou
Hii EVERYONE, i have raised this issue in MS feedback community as suggested by greg, please upvote the request, title of the request is same as raised by john, THE SCREEN SAYS " LOCKING " and it goes into sleep mode
Thankyou greg, i will post the problem there and will let everyone know if a solution comes up.

If this was caused by the Version 2004 then for 10 days you can roll it back in Settings>Update & Security>Recovery and then block it as shown here:
Some of the problems others are experiencing with with Version 2004 are here:
https://www.ghacks.net/2020/05/28/windows-10-version-2004-is-here-and-it-has-lots-of-issues/
If that doesn't work you can also Go Back in Repair Mode as shown here:
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2294-advanced-startup-options-boot-windows-10-a.html
You can try again in a month but I would not be in a hurry, because there's nothing new in it and plenty of problems. So you can even wait for the next Version Update.
If you want to report this to Microsoft use the Feedback Hub app in Start Menu where developers are tasked to process consumer feedback. They will not even see it here. This is a tech forums staffed mostly by volunteers trying to help others with your problems.
If you want to post back a Share link from your Feedback here others who see this thread can vote it up and add to it.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you'll wait to rate whether my post resolved your problem, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
