SuperUser reader cpx wants to know if a computer’s CPU is active when an operating system is in sleep mode: Suppose you have a Windows operating system installed on your computer and you toggle the system into sleep mode before putting it away.
- After having Windows sleep during file transfer, downloads and other operations, I wish Windows 10 had a simple 'Don't sleep' button like this (X-post r/windowsinsiders).
- @SJV1132007 As long as closing the screen down does not put the Mac to sleep or shut it down then the game will continue to download but as the system is still running the battery will be used. Message 7 of 19 (68,813 Views).
- I am sorry to tell you that once your laptop enters SLEEP (Suspend) or Hibernation mode all active activities seizes, there is no downloading happening past this point any further.
- Sleep Mode Settings- When you are aware that there is some malfunction in the PC settings, it’s.
When I am downloading large files, I was just wondering if it is possible to have my MacBook continue to download the file when I close my laptop or put it into sleep mode?
No. Sleep stops all activity.
Does it still download? What's the best way to do this?
Use Display Sleep, or just wait for the file to finish downloading before you sleep the mac. (Set it up by going to >System Preferences...>Exposé & Spaces>Exposé. Select 'Display Sleep' as one of the Hot Corners. To sleep the display, just go to that corner.)
