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

Thank you very much. This was very helpful.
I have the very same problem - has happened multiple times on my laptop. No pattern to it - I can go weeks between the times it happens. I noticed there are over 14,000 views to this problem - at what point will Microsoft look to find..and provide...a solution to the problem?
Take out the Battery of your Laptop and plug it back without battery, change the sleep setting to "never" on both option for screen and Power turnoff. will be OK if battery is a problem for that. i Experiment with DELL Vastro 3550.
Thanks a lot
i will try installing an older version and see what happens
i'll let you know of what come's up
