Nov 2022

when I got home today. I was on DU and a message popped up that the laptop was hibernating and locking.
I restarted several times, and then used my tablet to see what I could do. I changed the battery settings, and the power settings. Waiting now to see if it fixed the problem.

If it doesn't, then tomorrow, I'll take the new battery out. I never take the laptop out of the house, or anywhere else in the house, so if it's the new battery causing this problem, at least I tried.
