Changing the Intel Smart Connect Technology (Sleep Mode) Settings
You can change the Intel Smart Connect Technology settings in VAIO Control Center.
With this function, your VAIO computer connects to the Internet regularly and enables you to obtain the latest updates on email, Social Networking Services (SNSs), etc. even if the computer is in Sleep mode.
- Start VAIO Control Center and select Power and Battery. (See Searching/Starting Apps, Settings, or Files to start VAIO Control Center.)
- Select Details in Intel Smart Connect Technology.
- Select Open settings screen in Basic settings.
The Intel Smart Connect Technology settings screen appears.
- Enable/disable the setting in Keep Data Fresh.
Note
-
If your VAIO computer requires password entry before Windows starts, the computer will automatically shut down during the specified time period in order to save power consumption, depending on the model.
To prevent your VAIO computer from automatically shutting down, set State during sleep mode to Sleep in the Intel Smart Connect Technology settings screen.
The battery life is shortened if you select Sleep.
Hint
-
If apps are running when your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode, you can obtain the latest updates on the running apps during Sleep mode.
