    Hi ,

    yes—Windows 10 Home has a Sleep option. It uses a small amount of power and lets you return to your open apps when you wake it. Select Start > Power > Sleep.

    If you want the computer to keep running with just the screen off, go to Start > Settings > System > Power & sleep. Set Sleep to Never, then choose when the Screen turns off.

    Yes. Windows 10 Home supports Sleep on a desktop.

    Sleep does not fully turn the PC off. The computer uses a small amount of power, and open apps and files stay in memory so the PC can resume quickly.

    To set it:

    1. Open Start > Settings > System > Power & sleep > Additional power settings.
    2. Select Choose what the power buttons does.
    3. Next to When I press the power button, select Sleep.
    4. Select Save changes.

    To use it later, press the PC power button if it is configured for Sleep.
