    System not shutting down when entering sleep


    Hi;
    Windows 7 Ultimate X64 SP1 system.
    All has been fine until I installed Firefox 29.0 upgrade (with Mozilla Maintenance). Now, when I put the computer into sleep mode, the screen blanks (monitor goes into power save mode), but system keeps running. When I press power button to resume, Windows logon screen appears, and all is OK when I am logged in.

    Now the details:
    This problem only occurs after I have waited about 1min or more from boot (cold or warm). If i go into sleep before that time, the system shuts down normally.
    This being the case, I opened Services and checked for anything that has delayed start. I found two items.
    It turns out that the PnP-X IP Bus Enumerator service is the problem. When it is enabled (automatic - delayed start), the problem occurs. If I stop the service, then wait about 30 seconds for all of its processes to shut down, sleep mode works properly. If I start it again and wait 30 seconds for processes to start up again, sleep mode does not work properly.

    I have temporarily disabled the PnP-X IP Bus Enumerator service. It does not appear that my system needs to run it. I have not found anything that doesn't work as a result.
    That said, I would rather solve this issue properly. The PnP-X IP Bus Enumerator service was not causing any issues prior to upgrading Firefox. Perhaps there is another program causing the problem, but I do not recall installations other than the Firefox upgrade since the last time sleep was working properly. I have not yet tried uninstalling Firefox, but I think I should try that.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The default startup type for the PnP-X IP Bus Enumerator service is Manual, so something changed it on your system.
    Maybe a Media Center device, XBOX, ... ?

    I found this old thread where someone reported the same issue, but there is no reply/solution
