    Switching user causes sleep/hibernate and then power off !


    Hi everybody !

    My issue i very strange ....
    On Windows 7 x64 Integrale (Ultimate in english ?) i have create a new "standard" user ....
    When i try to 'Switch user' in start menu, my system goes down (no more display on screen), my HDD start to speed up for about 30sec ...the only way i have is to manually power off my PC
    Same, When i try to 'Switch user' after a CTRL ALT DEL, i have the same issue !!!
    When i first start my PC, on logon screen, all the users available appears (2), and i can log into the session's user that i choose ...

    P.S. I have tried to 'Close session' instead of switching user, thniking that i will land onto the windows logon screen, but exactly same issue as when i click on 'Switch user' ....

    any help will be appreciated

    At the command prompt run as administrator, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off
    Start menu > type Power options
    In the left pane, open the link labeled Change when the computer sleeps and then open the link Change advanced power settings.
    Under the Advanced Sleep options, expand the Sleep tree and turn off Hybrid Sleep.
    Press OK.
    Reboot.

    Thnak you for the reply ....

    Let's try powercfg.exe /hibernate off
    Hybrid sleep is already turned off ....

    In the same time, do you think that i'm missing some services like "terminal services" or "user sessions" ?
