In the era of booming digital economy, passive income has gradually become an important part of many people's income portfolios. For users who earn income by sharing network bandwidth through Packetshare, ensuring that the device is online 24/7 is the key to maximizing earnings. However, the default sleep settings in the Windows system act as a "stumbling block", often triggering sleep mode when the device is idle, resulting in interrupted network connections and a sudden halt in earnings.

Why Must Sleep Mode Be Disabled?

Once a device enters sleep mode, the Packetshare service process is forced to stop, which has an immediate impact on earnings accumulation. Many users have experienced similar problems: a brief sleep period can result in several hours of lost earnings. What's more frustrating is that the default sleep mechanism in the system is very "stealthy". When the laptop lid is closed or the device is not operated for a long time, it can enter sleep mode without notice, silently "stealing" the earnings that should have been earned.

But don't worry, modifying the Windows system settings to prevent automatic sleep is not complicated. Below, we will provide detailed steps for different Windows versions to ensure the stable operation of Packetshare.

Windows 10 System Operation Details

1. Click the "Start Menu" at the lower left corner of the desktop. In the pop-up interface, find the "Settings" icon, which looks like a gear and is easy to recognize.

2. After entering the settings page, select the "System" option, then find and click "Power & Sleep".

3. In the "Sleep" settings area, you will see two key options: "When on battery, PC goes to sleep after" and "When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after". Set both of these to "Never".

4. After completing the above steps, your device will no longer enter sleep mode due to inactivity, and Packetshare can continue to run stably in the background, ensuring a continuous flow of earnings.

Windows 11 System Operation Guide

1. Click the "Start" button on the taskbar, then select "Settings" in the pop-up menu.

2. After entering the settings interface, click "System", then select "Power & Battery".

3. On the "Power & Battery" page, find the "Sleep" section and click to expand it.

4. Set both "When on battery, turn off the display after" and "When plugged in, turn off the display after" to "Never".

5. After completing the settings, the device will no longer enter sleep mode automatically, and Packetshare can remain active, ensuring continuous earnings.

Advanced Tip: Keep Packetshare Running Even When the Laptop Lid Is Closed

If you want Packetshare to remain stable even when the laptop lid is closed or when using an external monitor, additional system settings are required. This method is applicable to Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 systems.

Steps to Keep the Device Awake When the Laptop Lid Is Closed

1. Open the "Control Panel":

For Windows 7 and 8 systems: Click the "Start Menu", then find and click "Control Panel". For Windows 10 and 11 systems: Press the search key on your keyboard (usually the Windows key + S), type "Control Panel", and then press Enter.

2. In the Control Panel, click on the "Hardware and Sound" option. If you are using the category view, this option will be directly displayed on the interface.

3. Enter the "Power Options" page.

4. On the left sidebar, find and click on "Choose what closing the lid does".

5. At this point, two columns of settings, "On battery" and "Plugged in", will appear on the page.

6. Under "When I close the lid", set both options to "Do nothing".

7. Finally, click "Save Changes" to apply the settings.

After completing these settings, Packetshare can run stably even when you close the lid of your laptop. Whether you are out on business or taking a break overnight, the device will continue to generate income for you.
