Urrrrrgh, on top of a task I really really really don't want to do now my laptop is doing its go-to-sleep-every-few-minutes nonsense. Something about a wifi virtual adapter in the logs. I've spent about an hour troubleshooting (while it keeps going to sleep on me randomly). Hopefully I've fixed it. What an esoteric thing. I just want to lie down in the sun and sleep for a bit
Last time I saw a laptop-randomly-sleeping-every-few-minutes issue, it was the magnetic wrist band of a schmancy new smartwatch triggering the magnetic lid-closed sensor in the palmrest.
If only I had such a glamorous reason! But no, the laptop lid is closed and it's hooked up to a dock. Event logs showed it had something to do with a virtual wifi adapter apparently. Dug around and found it hidden in device manager, with some power management option that I turned off and I think that fixed it...
You don't have something like hot corners set up with that laptop do you?
Nab. It was something to do with the wifi adapter, weirdly. Think I fixed it
