Hello everyone,
After sharing a desktop computer running Windows 7 and a laptop running Windows 10, I can access the hard drives of both depending on which one I'm on.
However, as soon as either one goes into sleep mode, I can no longer access it, which is inconvenient since one is upstairs and the other is on the ground floor.
I have therefore looked for a solution and scoured dozens of forums, after which I disabled "allow the computer to turn off this device" at the network card level, and I disabled the hard drive sleep mode, but nothing works. As soon as one or the other goes into sleep mode, they are inaccessible.
Have any of you experienced this situation and found a solution? If so, I am of course all ears.
I remain at your disposal for any further information and thank you for taking the time to read my message and possibly respond.
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 72.0.3626.96

Hello,
on Windows 7, you need to go to the control panel -> System and Security -> Power Options -> Change when the computer sleeps.
Select "Put the computer to sleep: Never".
PS: it's the only setting to change.

Hello,
It makes sense, a computer in sleep mode is no longer on.
If you want to be able to access it at any time, you need to disable the sleep mode of the entire computer.
Basically, the computer must stay on.
We use the "wake on lan" technology to wake it up remotely, but in any case, it will take some time to power back on.
Best regards

Hello,
It is necessary to distinguish between screen sleep, disk sleep, and PC sleep. For the latter, in Windows 10, go to settings/system/power and sleep, set "never" for battery (?) and plugged in.

Also, I disable hybrid sleep mode: https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/disable-and-re-enable-hibernation
It's logical, and Microsoft must have notified you when creating the share, as you can see below:

Indeed,
logically, as soon as there is a network session on a machine, it should block the switch to full sleep mode.
The screen, keyboard, and mouse can be turned off, but everything else should keep running as long as there is a network session.
Honestly, Windows (outside of server versions) will never really be multi-user.

The standard sleep mode in Windows (for the PC itself) involves creating a cache AND turning off the computer.
This allows the PC to remain "as is" and to restart from this "cache," a sort of partial image.
But yes, it was the PC, whether connected or not.
After that, we can have different levels of sleep (see the post from jee pee), but not with the standard options.
I'm not discussing the merits or not, but that's how it is :)
For example, on work laptops, to avoid issues when moving between the office, meetings, etc., our PCs do not go to sleep, but turn off the screen when the lid is closed. Otherwise, it's a hassle.
It's only if the PC remains "as is" that they eventually go to sleep.

Windows 7, 8, 10, ... are client versions of Windows.
They are primarily intended for individuals to perform office tasks (word processing and more), play games, ...
By default (even though it is possible), they are not designed to be used as a server.
If you want to create a real server, consider looking into Windows Server (or a paid or free equivalent).
In this case, the operating system will be designed for this type of use.
PS: it's already nice of Microsoft to have warned you when you shared your folder (see my post 4 for the image)
