Hi,
I am running Windows 10 and as soon as I stop using the laptop for a break (for a cuppa) the screen closes down which is annoying when I am watching TV or a Film, it seems there is a "shut off" time but I do not know how to stop it.
Please be aware I am totally useless at anything IT so any help would be great but please keep it simple.

Many thanks in advance

OOPS, Sorry I am having problems with SKYPE No matter what I do cannot connect to my daughter who lives in the US, I used to have a great connection then that dropped out and I cannot open any new accounts, be grateful for any advice.
Again use the windows button or icon.
select all apps
scroll down and look for skype( all apps are listed alphabetically)
If it is not listed you will need install it
If it is there select it and sign in or make an account.
