Question

Q: With Windows 10, When in sleep mode will the alarm function?

When in sleep mode, if the alarm is set, will the alarm turn on at the designated time?  Ex. If I set the alarm for 8 am will the alarm go off at the designated time while the computer is in sleep mode?

Answer

A:

Hi Millie,

 

If the computer goes to sleep, alarms and timers might not work. Only newer laptops and tablets with a feature called InstantGo can wake up from sleep to sound an alarm or timer. And even with InstantGo, the device might not wake up if it isn’t plugged in.

 

Refer to InstantGo: a better way to sleep article for further information.
