Laptop doesn't wake after sleep mode after Windows 10 update

I usually lower the laptop lid when i want to put it into sleep mode; after the windows 10 update, this stopped working. I tried putting it into sleep mode from the start menue. This causes the screen to become black, but power to remain on ( I can see this from a steady light from the power button whereas sleep would have a flashing power button). The laptop's fan also increases in speed. When I try to wake the laptop, nothing happenes; I have tried to use ctrl+alt+delete, however this also does not work. I am ususally forced to resort to a manual shut down via holding the power button for a few second and restarting the laptop. I have tried updating the display adapters, restarted the laptop, and still no result. Does anyone know why this is happenning and how I can fix it?

I was having the Exact Same Issue. The reason I decided to go back to windows 8 was because since upgrading to Windows 10, when my computer goes into sleep mode, I cannot wake it up. I have to press and hold the power button to shut it done and restart. Even if I close my laptop, and reopen the lid, it wont start back up and I have to press and hold the power button and shut it down and restart.  After trying to restore my HP Envy Laptop from Windows 10 to Windows 8, it got stuck in a Repair PC Loop and I could not even access the desktop, I tried the restore option to an earlier date and that failed and all the repair options also failed. The last option I had was to do a full PC Refresh, and that one worked. It took about an hour but no data was lost, and only a few of my downloaded apps were removed. An html url was left on the desktop that showed a list of all the apps that were removed. So all I did was download those back and now im back up and running Windows 8.

  • MacBook Pro doesn't go into sleep mode after connecting Thunderbolt display

    Hi,
    after connecting a Thunderbolt display to the 2011 MacBook Pro 13", the system doesn't stay in sleep mode.
    When pressing cmd.alt.eject it goes into sleep for 1 or 2 seconds and then goes back on.
    everything works fine otherwise and the MacBook goes to sleep without problems if the Thunderbolt display is not attached.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jordi

    I found the problem.
    It turns out that it has nothing to do with the Thunderbolt Display, but with Bluetooth and the Magic Trackpad.
    When I installed the TD, I also added a wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad that I had been using with another system.
    If the option to allow the system to wake up by Bluetooth devices is enabled (system preferences, Bluetooth, advanced), the MacBook Pro will go to sleep and immediately wake up.
    Simply disabled that option and everything works fine.
    Now I need to open the lid of the MBP to wake up the system. Kind of a huge power button :-)
    Thanks for your help!

  • IMac won't wake from sleep mode after latest update

    Hello, I have a Late 2013 27-inch iMac that has started acting strange, lately. After installing update 10.10.3, my iMac almost will regularly not wake once it enters sleep mode, after being idle for a certain period of time.
    Is anyone else having this problem, and/or have any solutions for this?
    Thank you in advance!

    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. Please read the whole article carefully and don't skip any of the steps, including the ones under the heading Additional troubleshooting. If you don't understand any of the steps, ask for guidance.
    Also note that if you replaced the internal hard drive with an SSD, or if you're starting up from an external SSD, then that device may be causing the problem. Check the SSD manufacturer's website for a firmware update. The only solution may be to reinstall the original drive or avoid sleep altogether.
    Step 2
    If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, from the menu bar select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
    If the checkbox at the bottom marked
              Enable access for assistive devices
    is checked, uncheck it and test.
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
    If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.
    Step 3
    In the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked
              Put hard disks to sleep when possible
    Step 4
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
    Step 5
    This and the next step must be taken as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ Diagnostic and Usage Messages
    In the search box in the window's toolbar, enter "powerd" (without the quotes.)
    You may see one or more lines like this:
    com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure
    If you do see that, and you did everything in the preceeding steps, then you're dealing with an internal hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    Step 6
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that heading, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down.
    You may see one or more reports with a name that begins with "Sleep Wake Failure" followed by a date. Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • USB Ports don't work after sleep mode on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    I have been using my laptop for about a month without a problem, but over the last week or two I have had a problem where I lose access to all of my USB ports when resuming from sleep mode. If I go into hybernate or restart the computer, the ports
    miraculously return. The techs at the manufacturer can't figure it out and wanted me to do a full system restore, which is a little too drastic a solution! The only real thing I can connect it to, is I had to use Virtual PC (XP) around the time this
    started.

    Hi Greg,
    Microsoft has been fixed this problem, but it is not successful with all PC/Notebook manufacturers. So, the OEM developers itself started giving patch for this issue. I have seen the patch upto Windows Vista version. Lenovo, HP, Dell and other people
    are providing this patch. Sony is providing this patch for some selective models. Go to sony support, enter or auto detect your model and check for the update. With Windows 7 SP1 your USB drives should work properly.
    Anyway, check the below sony support link to understand how to wake up a USB drive after sleep in Vista, Do the equivalent modification in your Windows 7 PC registry. It will work for you.
    http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=http--supportmicrosoftcom-kb-928631&sliceId=&docTypeID=DT_MICROSOFTKB_1_1&dialogID=268806033&stateId=1%200%20268804250
    Hope this will work for you.

  • Laptop won't wake from sleep mode.

    My laptop will sometimes spontaneously go into sleep mode and won't awake unless I remove the power cord and battery. At the same time I notice the top of the case/tracking pad get very hot. Sometimes when typing normally the cursor location will jump around your text and mess up your sentences. This is very annoying and I can't seem to make this stop from happening. Another thing I am noticing is system performance is slowing down, and the HDD is making a humming noise. Not sure if these are all related.
    I've seen/read some threads on the sleep mode issue, but not the rest. Any seen anything like this? Laptop is still under warantee and I might just have to take it in, but I want to make sure I have issues with the hardware.
    System details: G4 15" Powerbook, 1.5 Ghz, 60 GB HD, 512 MB Ram.
    PowerBook G4 1.5 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    You've raised a few issues. First, to try a fix for the sleep/power issue, reset your Power Mangement Unit described at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    Next, run your Apple hardware test. Insert the first OS X DVD that came with your system (should say AHT Version n.n in small print on the DVD), and reboot holding the option key down. Choose Apple hardware test, and follow directions. Choose the extended test. If you have one of the TechTool programs, that does the same testing. Does this point out any issues?
    Performance slowing down...how much data do you have on your hard drive? You want to keep at least 10% free for system usage. Do you keep your system on 24x7? If not, there is a chance some of the system disk log maintenance won't run. You can run a program like MacJanitor or OnyX to clean them up. MacJanitor can be found at http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/macjanitor.html and OnyX can be found at http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html . I prefer OnyX because it does much more than run the Apple scripts, however, either tool will run the scripts.
    When the top of your case seems hot, you should look at your Activity monitor, located on your hard drive in applications/utilities, to see if anything is causing the CPU to run up to 100%.

  • Laptop doesn't go into sleep mode correctly

    Hi, I have a toshiba portege R30-A. Sometimes when I go to sleep mode, the screen goes black normally, but the indicator lights stay lit and I can hear the computer still running. If I try to go back on, it won't let me and I have to hold the power button to reboot it. The first time it acted like this, the screen was black, but when I would press a key, the keyboard would light up. The second time it did this, the keyboard wouldn't light up. I thought maybe its nothing bad, i'll just leave it like that and go on later, so I did and the battery was completeley drained.

    Let's keep this all in your other thread.

  • Sleep Mode after 10.5.2 update

    Hi all... my machine won't wake from sleep mode after the 10.5.2 update. I can hear the fan and drives spinning but nothing else happens... forced to cold boot. Also- the screen saver now comes on even though I have it set to "Never" in system prefs. Wierd.
    I welcome any and all thoughts/advice.
    Thanks.

    But the problem of waking from sleep mode persists.
    what third party hardware do you have attached to Mac/ usb hub can cause problem especially with devices attached during sleep. PCI internal cards. Disconnect all except Apple mouse/keyboard and go after one by one.
    I recently dumped a Belkin 7 port usb hub which worked fine in 10.4.11 and up thru 10.5.1 but when 10.5.2 came around it did not wake any device attached. I since move to a Cyberpower usb hub.

  • X505-sp8915r wont wake up after sleep mode

    My laptop wont wake up after sleep mode (suspender). The laptop does everything it should like the red lights go off but when i hit the power button just the power red light goes on... The keyboard backlights if I try using it but the monitor wont show anything and the hard disc red light doesn't even blink.
    Hibernation seems to be working fine. I had to change all that will make my computer enter sleep mode to hibernate. But I would like to get that fixed. I read something about the bios and my version is "BIOS Version: V1.40. 12/04/09.

    Qosmio X505-SP8915R
    The BIOS is up to v2.2 now. It's possible that will help.
       ACPI Flash BIOS version 2.20 for Qosmio X505 (PQX33U)

Yeesterday i try put this on my macbook i7 intel 2.9 processor that crucial said is compatible. but found out everything was good until i close my mac lid for hibernate. What happen is, it won't wake up no matter what i do until a way of reset SMC. BTW i try stick by stick to plug in together with my original 4gb RAM together found out 1 was ok and other one was not. But somehow why the info of hardware show that memory ram 16GB was installed and was OK. Everything was run smooth even booting. The only problem is won't wake up after sleep mode. I already try reset smc, pram, delete startimage, delete powermanagement.file and also sudo hibernate 0-7. Did anyone had this same issue of me. I'm my curiousity will it be the bad ram or software problem.

    i just google around and found this two both crucial ram. Both spec are the same but different model no.

  • Monitor won't wake up after sleep mode

    Does anyone know how to fix the monitor, so it starts up after sleep mode? When my computer comes out of sleep mode the monitor doesn't always come on. Does anyone else have this problem and do you know the cause? The computer is only a few months old and hadn't had any problems.
    Thanks,
    Shaneil

    Well my solution may not be the most cientific one but it works for me (at least until the real solution comes to the public)...
    My computer has the problem that when it goes to sleep mode she never comes back... but it the screen that does not comes back... all the system is workin in behind (its like the brightness level was set on the less power possible) so i had to turn off the computer and had to do for a long time some times i had to wait that the computer cooled off a little and then try again to turn it on... I some tried things that the support page of apple said it could be... but did worked out... i dont know i think is a problem over 2 factors...
    1. heating (the screen generates to many heat but, TO MANY!)
    2. tiger os the OS "sleep mode" (it knows that the screen its heating a lot and tries to go to sleep to prevent over heating and damage)
    So based on this i tried conecting a external monitor to the computer while she was unable to "awake" (or to show some thing in the screen)... and it worked whit no problem at all... so my conclusion was to prevent the over heating (1st factor) and the sleep mode (2nd factor)... so I deactivated the sleep mode setting up the computer to a never sleep mode... and to prevente the over heating well I use a low bright and when i need more brightness (to se the colors of what im doing or some thing like that) I use high brightness... when I away I set the brightness level to no brightness so there is no over heat and no sleep mode (cus if it is deactivated and it over heats it will go to sleep anyway...
    Soooooo....
    1. deactivate Sleep mode...
    2. Activate a Screen saver...
    3. And remember to contro your brightness your self... and turn it off when you are not using your computer...
    well i hope it works for some body :P cya...

  • Yosemite upgrade: function keys no longer work, no keyboard lights and have to sign in twice after sleep mode.  Anybody else having these problems?

    Hi,
    Since I did the Yosemite 'upgrade' last week I have been having problems with my MacBook Pro that never happened before.  The most frustrating problems involve my keyboard which doesn't light up (checked my settings and they are correct) and the top row of function keys don't do anything so I can't adjust the volume, brightness, etc.  Then if my screen goes into sleep mode, when I wake it back up I have to sign back in twice - I never had to sign in at all after sleep mode before.
    I'm finding that in order to get it working properly I am having to completely shut down and start up again but when the keyboard problems are happening I can't get anything on the apple dropdown to work either (i.e. shut down, restart, etc) so I can only shut down by pressing and holding the on/off button.
    I've never had problems with my Macbook before and feel like Apple have completely ruined it in one update!  I've had a look through other posts on here but can't find anybody else having these problems so I would be really grateful if anyone could help me and offer me some advice on how to sort it out.
    Thanks!

  • Macbook Air 13" Mid2011 won't wake up after sleep again after replacing logic board

    I have replaced my logic board a few days ago for the issue of not waking up after sleep.
    It was good when I was in store and the same night. 
    1 day later, when I put the laptop to sleep by clicking the sleep menu item, I cannot wake it up by all means in the next morning!!!!! Again!!!!!
    I hooked it with a 22" LCD monitor via thunderbold to HDMI+HDMI to DVI.  Will that cause issue?
    I'm not sure when this will end, I cannot just keep replacing my logic board!

    I have a Macbook Air and it also frequently (6 times out of 10) will not wake from sleep mode, only way to revive it is to hold down power button for 10 secs and force a restart. VERY FRUSTRATING!
    I also occasionally use an external Apple 24' Screen (Non LED) and find that the MBAir will often freeze when you plug that into it or unplug it from it.. Perhaps I have a hardware fault on the MB Air? Or will this be fixed in software?

  • Upgraded to lion now my wi-fi loses connection after sleep mode, it still shows as connected but does not go out to the internet. Please help

    After I upgraded to lion I have been having constant issue with my wi-fi after sleep mode. I close the lid and when I reopen I open safari and cannot connect to the internet. Wi-fi is on and I am connected to my router, but it doesnt seem to be on the internet. Now how I resolve this issue is turn of the wi-fi and turning it back on, then i am back on the net. this is mos-def a bug i have never had that problem with snow leopard. Please assist or provide hot-fix

    I have the same issue and have to cycle the wireless modem on the laptop. Doesn't matter if I'm on a preferred netowrk or no, or if I stay on the same network or move. I come out of sleep, I have to cycle the modem.
    It's not life threatening, or anything, but it's a hassle. I didn't have the issue with Snow Leopard.
