Jan 2, 2021 95 5 35 When I close the lid of my chromebook, and leave for a few minutes, when I come back, the chromebook has shut down(losing all my tabs). This also often happens when the computer idles to sleep. I have checked my power settings, and both the settings are on SLEEP when lid is closed and SLEEP after idling. Has anyone else experienced this/solved this? Sort by date Sort by votes

This is a recurring problem I experience even though I have already tried doing a Powerwash and a Recovery. I am looking for a specific solution to the problem, as I seem to experience it all the time. Upvote 0 Downvote You must log in or register to reply here.
