I haven't installed any new software. I don't have the Samsung Magic SSD software mentioned in other posts, and the only devices configured to wake the laptop are the mouse and keyboard, neither of which is touched when the laptop wakes up. Any suggestions
on how this can be delayed until I wake up the laptop would make my wife very happy. I do have a scheduled task to wake the laptop to run the AV software while I'm away, but that's hours after it's actually waking up. Thanks!

try to go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools
Disable and set the trigger as never at task scheduler > time sync
You can also try to clean boot

  • Wireless not working after laptop wakes up from sleep mode

    After my laptop wakes up from sleep, the wireless network stops. Even when the wireless is enabled, it is unable to scan the wireless networks. In order to make it working again, I have to restart my laptop. Here are some of the details that might be useful.

    Well, the above two links have the problem similar to mine but not exactly. In first one there is a problem with network manager - that it is unable to restart after coming from sleep mode while that is not a problem in my case and I tried all the solutions provided in the second link, but didn't work.
    What I figured is when I execute '#pm-suspend' and then close the lid. Then, after I open the lid I wireless works fine. 'pm-suspend' is not invoked if I close the lid. So I needed to invoke the above command when an acpi event is generated when I close the lid. So here is what I added in the /etc/acpi/handler.sh file
    button/lid)
         case "$3" in
               close)
                   (sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend)  #added
               open)
    This works fine for now. Still, I don't know why this solution works - Why executing pm-suspend solves my problem?

  • Satellite P300-13J doesn't wake up from Sleep or Hibernate

    My laptop (Windows Vista 32 bit) is unable to wake up from sleep or hibernate.
    Laptop is set to the Balanced Power Scheme.
    However, once the display has turned off (after 10 minutes), I am unable to wake it up.
    Unable to open Task Manager, Shut Down, nothing works, all I see is a black screen, the disk access light blinking and the fan running.
    I end up holding the power button to switch off.
    This is a recent development, it might have started when I installed Office 2010 on the laptop.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Since when did you notice this issue?
    Was this issue present after clean system installation?
    How about the BIOS? Is it up to date?
    I read in some threads that BIOS update could helps to sort out such similar problems.
    So BIOS update is definitely worth a try.
    Also the display driver update would be recommended. Of course just in case you are not using the latest version.
    By the way: is Win 7 an option for you? The Win 7 is much better and lot of different issues which appeared in Vista system, have been foxed in Win 7

  • Windows explorer + other windows applications crashing regularly at resume from sleep and hibernate

    Good evening,
    I have a Thinkpad W510 (4319-29G) running Windows 7 Pro 64bit. The system is loaded with the latest software and drives from Lenovo including BIOS 6NET74WW (1.34), upgrade was done Dec 7th (windows update performed Dec 15th).
    The machine has
    - 8Gb RAM
    - nVidia Quadro FX880M, driver version is 8.17.12.5896, 7-9-2010 and video card BIOS is 70.16.5f.0.b
    - dual harddrives,
       - one Seagate Momentus XT 500Gb (ST95005620AS) FW rev SD23 in the main location with C: and some other partitions
       - one Hitatchi 320 Gb (HTS723232L9SA60) FW rev FC4ZC50B in the bay.
    - Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 AGN, driver version 13.3.0.24, 7-14-2010
    - Intel 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection, driver version 11.5.10.1030, 7-22-2010
    Recently I have experienced crashes of multiple windows components at resume from sleep and hibernate.
    It seems to happen when swithing location (from work to home) and thus switching from docking station with wired network connection to no dock and wireless network connection (dont know if this has any bearing but anyway).

    It seems that a module "nview64.dll" is always the first application to crash. I suspect this has something with graphics to do.
    I dont know if this event triggers the following crashes or if it is so that the display is initialized before the other programs.
    After all crash diagnostic messages have been shown windows explorer restarts and also other applications restart but a lot of system tools in the system tray are gone so a cold start is needed to restore all tools again.
    I really would appreciate any help and suggestions how to fix this really annoying issue.
    Thanks, Anton

    I had a similar issue, as soon as a described even a little bit of it to warrenty support they sent someone to swap the board
    It seems thats the only fix, its been fine since 

  • Problem in Reader X: only menu bar is visible after laptop wakes up from sleep

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Reader X on my MacBook (OS X, 10.6.8). If I have a pdf open in Reader, and then put my laptop to sleep, after it wakes up the content of the pdf is no longer visible. It's not that the window is all whited or blacked out, there is no window. There is only a menu bar. The file cannot be returned to normal by selecting it in the Window menu. After this happens, the only way to view this file is to close Reader and re-open the file. I tried reinstalling Reader X, but still have the same problem.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I was so surprised to see that you are using HP SimplePass V5.1 that I went back and looked through your other Posts to see if you had broached this subject in the past. 
    There is nothing wrong with V5.1 although it is so much out of date that I am surprised it has continued to function to this point.  It is a testament to strength of the code and the health of your system that it has done so.
    According to your version of the Validity Sensor Driver (V4.3.205.0), I think you can update the the later Series 6 AuthenTec version of HP SimplePass.
    While the program presentation is a bit different from version 5.1, the program is essentially what you are used to using; the password / webcard database is compatible.  You should be able to move to the newer version without any issues.  The latest Series 6 version is more stable than previous versions; you should no longer suffer the indignities of a program that mysteriously stops working.
    See the following Dragon Document:
    Instructions to Update HP SimplePass
    NOTE:  There are two Series of HP SimplePass mentioned in the document.  You want to stay with Series 6.  Feel free to read about Series 8; for the moment, you are best served (in my opinion) by sticking with what you are using now.
    The Update procedure is simple. 
    Start at Page 5: Section Procedure to Update / (Re) Install HP SimplePass
    Essentially you want to complete the following sections:
    Export your Webcards (if possible)
    Create Restore Point
    Reinstall Validity Driver
    Reboot Computer
    Download and Install HP SimplePass (V6.0.100.276)
    When you are done with the Update:
    See the instructions in the section titled:

  • My macbook wakes up from sleep by itself all the time.

    When the lid is open and it´s been inactive for some time it wakes up and then goes off by itself according to my settings in power and battery.
    Also when I close the lid it doesn´t stop trying it makes noise over and over again.
    All my settings are ok I think.
    Does anyone have the same problem?

    I don't understand how anything plugged into the same power outlet can have any impact on Mac Pro? This is so weird.
    Like most Macs of the past 10 years, you don't turn it on with a mechanical switch. You turn it on with an electronic switch. When the machine is "off," it isn't really off. It's waiting for the proper electrical signal to begin the startup sequence. My theory is that if you happen to have something on the electrical circuit that generates a pulse that resembles the power-on signal that the Mac is expecting, it wakes up.
    More commonly, it happens when there is a defective keyboard or mouse cable (causing a short circuit that wakes the Mac, as if a key or mouse button had been pressed), but more rarely it comes in through the electrical system.

  • Wakes up from sleep with flashing/vertical lines

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro mid 2012 mode, when ever my laptop wakes up from sleep after a longer duration then the screen flicker and vertical color lines appear.
    The problem goes away once I reboot, also the problem doesnt appear in case I dont let the mac sleep. I have tried PRAM reset and changing my display resolutions, but both have not helped. The mac is just under two years old and I have already replaced the SATA cable, hardrive and now this issue?

  • MBP will not wake up from Sleep

    Hi,
    I installed Leopard successfully on Friday, and since then, my computer does not wake up from sleep about 50% of the time.
    When I open the lid to attempt to wake it up, I hear the normal CD drive clicking sound (not the best way to describe the sound, but I don't know how else haha), but the screen just remains black. I cannot tell however, if it is a) waking up and the screen is remaining black or b) not waking up at all. The only way to remedy this is to hard to a hard shut down with the power button and then to power back on.
    Anybody else experience this or know what could be causing this? I never had this problem with Tiger in the 5 months that I had it on my MBP.
    Thanks for the help!

    Just installed Leopard on my original 15" MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo. Last night, I had several applications open (Safari, Transmit, Timbuktu Pro) set up in separate Spaces. I closed the lid to put the machine to sleep. The sleep light was pulsing normally.
    This morning, when I opened the MBP, the screen came on ok showing the last Safari page I was on and the Airport Indicator showed that it re-connected to my wifi as normal. However, the cursor was scrambled (the was a vague set of dots but no arrow where the cursor should be). This "scrambled cursor" moved around the screen when I moved my finger on the trackpad but the computer did not respond to any mouse clicks or keyboard input. I tried commandoptionQ to force quit but no luck. Eventually I had to press & hold the power button to force a restart & the computer then started up normally.

    Hi. i bought an hp 250 laptop 7 month ago from budapest and during this 8month i have done every thing to make it usable but still its not usable. first for long time i used days and nights to try different operating systems and googling solutions and downloading and installing drivers and making sure windows and drivers are up to date. then I gave the laptop to support service and after long time i noticed they just changed motherboard but problem is same as before. i gave back the laptop for second time and they changed the ram that was also faulty but again the sleep mode problem was same. i tried changing operating system and updating drivers and bios again but the problem was same. so for the 3rd time i asked hp central guarantee service to help me this time with different repairer and i explained the problem and gave it and after i got back the laptop for 3rd time they said they changed motherboard again but again nothing problem changed about the sleep.shouldnt the guarantee change the laptop if they cant make laptop usable after 3 times i gave it to them? i think i will be affraid to buy any thing with hp label for my whole life now. please help me or let me know if i should just throw it away.

    Hello all- I haven't seen a resolutoin posted on this so wanted to include my laptop which has a similar problem.  It's a Toshiba Satellite L655D-S5145 running Windows 8.  This is an intermittent problem and so far has been unpredictable in terms of repeating it, but when it happens essentially it will not wake up from sleep (or some unknown locked state) when the lid is opened from a closed position.  Sometimes the fan can be heard running, and the 1st 3 lights are on as white.  The normal sleep state has the 1st and 3rd lights white, with the 2nd one slowly blinking orange.  The basic symptom is that the screen stays blank and I at first thought this was an intermittent monitor/hardware problem, but I am now thinking it is some type of subtle software or driver bug.  If anyone runs across a definitive fix please post it.  Doing a System Restore or the like is not an option for me at this point. ps- Toshiba support, if you're listening I am 100% confident that someone on your support or engineering teams knows what this problem is so please speak up 

  • TS1367 I am asking this question about my 27 inch iMac Desktop Computer. I normally use my Laptop and very seldom use the desktop but was going to download the new software earlier today. I could not wake it from sleep.

    The other evening we had a storm and lightening hit a house a few doors from me. It jolted my chair but that seemed to be all here. I use my laptop most of the time but since there was a software download I went to my 27 inch iMac and could not wake it from sleep. The light on the keyboard is not lit either. I have this connected to a Battery Backup Power so do not know what has happened or what to do. When I push the power button to try to turn it on nothing happens. There is no shound, no video, nothing; however the disk drive that does my time maching backup has a light on it and the other things that are plugged into the battery power pack also have lights on them. The printer is on and says it is ready to print. Since I cannot boot it up I do not know what to do to even try to get it started. I did not know what would happen if I put the first start up disk in  the external disk drive and try that or not. The internal drive is broken. I do not have any repair shops or apple stores around me at all less than 150 miles away and I am disabled with 24/7 help and oxygen so can not take it in. Are there any suggestions that anyone can give me. I have not been able to find any way to reset the backup battery pack either. It is a Tripp-Lite. Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for your time and trouble.

  • When Windows 8.1 wakes up from sleeping, the PAC Proxy can't work normally

    Hi,
    I'm using Toshiba WT8 Win8 Tablet.
    When my tablet waked up from sleeping, the PAC Proxy can't normally work on the Modern UI IE, when I reconnect the WiFi, it will be ok without any other action.
    Windows 8.1 and all drivers are up-to-date.  No any anti-virus software. 
    There is a post I asked 4 days ago but can't solve my problem: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-networking/windows-81-wake-up-from-sleep-lost-pac-proxy/a19efe8e-70e4-4eed-a614-f11f62562a68?rtAction=1425959337664

    Hi,
    According to your another thread, your current Tablet system is Windows 8.1, isn't it? When this probelm occurs, could desktop IE works properly using PAC Proxy?
    In addition, open Device Manager to check Wireless adapter driver settings, make sure " Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power " is unchecked.

  • Windows 10 updated now HP Pavilion won't wake up from sleep

    Since I upgraded to W10 this week, my laptop now will not wake up from sleep.  I've searched around on the net and so far can only find people having problems putting their laptop to sleep.  I did follow the advice from one of those on the HP forum, to upgrade a driver, which I figured couldn't hurt.  It made no difference though.   When I come to wake my computer up, which always was by just lifting the lid, now nothing.  The power light will glow solid and the wifi light glows orange (as opposed to its usual white solid when machine is running).  Other than that, noting.  No button pressing or screen tapping of any kind will bring it to life and the only solution is to press and hold the power button to force full shutdown and start again.   May be only 3 days into it but it's already driving me mad.     Any suggestions welcome!ThanksJulie

    Hmmm... I'm on the fence on that one as the software update is Microsoft's so the logical consumer in me says that it shouldn't be HP's responsibility to create the fix.  I understand your frustration but from the legal perspective under the UK consumer law, I think HP may well be within their rights to deflect the liability to Microsoft - but that's a terrible example of customer service, after all you've got an HP machine......  BUT (devil's advocate here) HP haven't released the software update or prompted consumers to install it.... so from their point of view, they can probably quite rightly and fairly bury their heads in the sand.   The warranty you will have for your machine probably will exclude software issues for anything other than factory installation or possibly HP's own updates.  (that's me speaking as a former Trading Standards Officer, so not without a bit of knowledge on the matter...)
    That said..............  I did follow the fix that was posted earlier and so far it's looking good.  I've left my machine for over 2 hours and it sprung back into life every time today since I followed the BIOS update suggested. 
    I'm sorry to hear that you've had a bad response from HP "Customer Service" but nothing to stop you complaining about that..!!    I'm a great fan of going straight to the top and Andy appears to be the current MD for HP.  Whether or not they accept responsibilty for the issues we're all having, they still should be offering a higher standard of response and customer service than that - whoever's "fault" the problems are, they're certainly not the consumer's.

  • Pavillion 15 n000sp doesn't wake up from sleep in Windows 10

    Since updating from Windows 8.1 to 10, my notebook has lost the ability to wake up from sleep mode.
    When I leave it idle but open, the scren goes off but any touch on the keyboard or mouse wakes it up.
    If I close the notebook, it goes into a deep sleep mode and unable to wake up. The usb powers off (optical mouse stops working) and pressing the keyboard, touchpad or power button does nothing. If I disconnect and reconnect the usb cable, I regain power to the mouse, but don't gain any functionality. Only way to recover from this is a hard reset by long power button press. I have already followed the instructions at http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03383935#AbT0 (basically assuring that peripherals have the ability to wake up the device - not only the keyboard, as stated in the article, but also mouse and touchpad -  and checking for updates both through the windows update as the HP support Assistant and going through all devices in the device manager). I have updated both graphical card drivers (Intel HD and NVidia Gforce) and the update assistant doesn't detect any more updates. Still, the issue persists. Any help?  

    same issue for my system HP Pavilion 15-n235tx Notebook PC 

  • DELL Inspiron N5110 does not Shut Down and does not wake up from Sleep

    Hello.
    I have Dell Inspiron N5110 which cannot shut down neither in Windows 7 nor in Ubuntu Linux. I specifically booted Ubuntu Live from the CD to eliminate the possibility that  the problem is in the Windows 7. Shutdown in Ubuntu does not work either. This proves that the reason in not a BACKGROUND application in Windows that remains hanging and does not allow the laptop to shut down.
    The laptop cannot wake up after Sleep or Hibernate either.
    I have tried every solution that you advised to all the other people in the forum that have the same issue.
    1. The laptop cannot shut down in Safe Mode either.
    2. It cannot shut down even after Clean Boot Mode - all non-MS services disabled and all Startups disabled.
    3. I tried changing the Advanced Power Options of "Allow Hybrid Sleep" - both ON for "On AC Power" and "Running on battery" - no change.
    4. I tried installing the latest video drivers for Nvidia. This did not help either.
    5. Running only on battery does not change anything - still cannot shutdown.
    6. Running only on AC adapter without battery - still cannot shutdown.
    7. I tried removing the AC adapter and battery and holding the POWER button for 30 seconds to RESET the laptop - did not work.
    ATTENTION: I've been reading your forums all day and saw at least 10-15 reports of the same problem and not a single fixed case.
    8. This is why I have not tried Flashing the BIOS to the latest version - I read other people tried that and it didn't work either.
    9. I loaded BIOS default settings (F9) - still cannot shutdown.
    REMARK: Changing something in the BIOS and trying to Exit once caused the laptop to freeze and I had to Power Off by holding the button for longer.
    10. I ran DELL Diagnostics from Boot menu (F12 at startup) - no errors found.
    11. I could not locate IEEE 1394 Adapter in Device Manager to change its Power Management settings.
    Actually none of the suggestions you may give for changing something in Windows makes sense because I already mentioned that shut down in Ubuntu does not work either.
    The issue seems to be either in the BIOS or a hardware problem. But which component? Is it the CD/DVD drive?
    This is a new laptop.
    Please advice how to proceed. If you know which component fails please tell me.

    Remove the keyboard and palm rest (guide from dell shows you how) and you should see a small coin cell battery. Remove it for at least 10 seconds, then put it back in. Enter BIOS and make sure there isn't anything weird that was changed. It should work properly now. I have had this working in Ubuntu 12.04 for the last few days, with no problems.
