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 been having the same issue i will be in the middle of a game and it locks and the screen goes black. there seems to be no fix and its frustrating as heck. are we just supposed to wait until a new update comes out where they fix it
All of the things you have left us with to help fix this never works for me this problem has been happening to people since like 2016 and still now i can't find a thing to fix it it just recently happened to me on July 31st and i haven't been able to game or really do anything for two weeks now. And every tip you have left hasn't worked i know its nothing wrong with my computer because i was playing it just fine and then my computer just updates and then boom now there's some type of bug that prevents me from using my computer and it's really frustrating. Are there any possible methods i could try to fix this that you haven't already given because i have tried all of them and I've been looking for two weeks and it's really frustrating at this point

If this was caused by Windows Update(s) the first thing to try is to System Restore to a point before the problem began following this guide: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-system-restore-windows-10
If System Restore doesn't work or the Updates install again and cause the same problem, then see how to uninstall and/or block them here: https://www.howtogeek.com/223864/how-to-uninstall-and-block-updates-and-drivers-on-windows-10/
If this was caused by a Version Update then for 10 days you can roll it back in Settings>Update & Security>Recovery and then hide it until it matures using the Hide Updates Tool which is explained more here:
https://www.howtogeek.com/223864/how-to-uninstall-and-block-updates-and-drivers-on-windows-10/.
If that doesn't work you can also Go Back in Repair Mode as shown here:

My laptop battery is embedded in the laptop. And my case is exactly the same as Alfianap. I have tried to reinstall windows as well as the games I play but the problem still occurs.
