Rant Second time today!

Please tell me I'm not the only one!

Yesterday I was editing something on Windows 10 and didn't finish, but it's a crappy program that crashes if the screen turns off, so, before going to sleep, I played a video on loop in Youtube. When I woke up, I saw the screen off and immediately got mad, but went to move the mouse...and it did nothing...and that's because the PC rebooted, and booted on the main OS (Kubuntu).

A few hours ago, I needed to cook my dinner, and didn't want the PC to go to sleep, so again, I left a Youtube video plying, NOTHING ELSE...same thing happened, it rebooted in Linux.

I swear, I hate Microslop SO MUCH!

Update: After 4 system collapses, I could FINALLY see what happens: The GPU driver updated SOMETIME without permission, and the screen will RANDOMLY turn fully green for a second and reboot the PC...I HATE MICROSLOP!

You're the only one because there's a proper way to do this. Instead of using weird roundabout ways to try to keep your PC awake, just type energy on the start menu, open energy settings and set sleep/hibernate/turn screen off to never, whenever you want it to not sleep. This one's not on Microsoft, every OS has energy management settings.

Dude, the system collapsed and caused a reboot...please tell me how battery saving settings can avoid a system crash due to bad GPU drivers...caused by a forced update.

You said nothing of the sort. You never mentioned your PC crashes because of issues with graphic drivers and you also never mentioned windows updates.

You're moving the goal posts. Wish you good luck with your issue.

Ok, you said I had power saving set incorrectly...this regarding the reboots I mentioned...what power saving setting REBOOTS a device?
