  1. shame on you. shame on me.
    The info in your article is still valid!
    Do not know however where this setting came from.
    I did not set it, but suddenly my machine started to suspend in 30 minutes.
    Looked everywhere but not in the OS itself.
    Thanks for the info!

  2. Hi,

    As on VMware, the VM will suspend automatically if it goes to standby mode.

    You need to disable the standby mode from control panel.

    Thanks.
