6/ In the 'Change Settings For Plan' window, Click the 'Change advanced power settings link'
7/ The Advanced power settings window now opens
8/ Look down the list that appears in this window and Click the Plus (+) sign next to the Sleep option
9/ Now Click the Plus (+) sign next to the 'Allow hybrid sleep' option. The setting should currently be 'On'
10/ Click on the Allow hybrid sleep setting an a dialogue box will appear with an arrow to the Right
11/ Click the Arrow and from the drop down Menu select OFF
12/ Now Click the OK button
