Windows Does Not Start After Sleep

Windows Does Not Start After Sleep​

   Information

There seem to be quite a few people with this problem, so I wrote this tutorial to quickly solve it. This is a problem with the Sleep mode that desktop computers use. Normally, Sleep is the only option, and Hibernate is not available to desktops. The problem appears to be caused by the Hybrid Sleep option (this simply sets the computer to sleep, but stores a hibernate file in case of a power loss). This tutorial will show you how to both enable Hibernate, as well as fix this problem.

Lets get started!

1) Open up Power Options by either searching for it from the start menu, or through the Control Panel

2) Select whichever Power Plan you use, and select Change Plan Settings

3) Make sure that the Sleep option is set to never, then click on Change Advanced Power Settings

4) Scroll down to the Sleep options, and Change "Allow hybrid sleep" to OFF

5) Select OK, then Save Changes. You are all finished!

   Tip

Please make sure to test this, and let me know if this does not work for you! I hope you like the tutorial, and I hope it fixed your problem!

That is depressing. What else is wrong with it?

Yes it is. Mostly, when I return back from sleep I get a black screen. Hmm.

I actually had the same thing happen to me this morning. Some time last night, my computer woke up, but when I looked, it was a black screen. It seemed that somehow it got changed to a different Power Plan. So you might want to check that too. I just set all mine to be the same, so you may want to try that.

well that was useful lord, but i don't think disabling the sleep option is the solution though

What do you mean? Disabling Hybrid sleep fixes this. Once you do that, sleep and hibernate both work.

[Musy]

my bad then
i thought you're disabling sleep in the computer
its sad though that some guys still has the same problem :S

Well this is rather workaround problem than solution.I think offered sugestions cause more consuming energy by computer than on default settings during sleeping because not all computer components will be in sleep mode,I think only video card and monitor will be in sleep during sleep mode , remain computer components -not.
So before trying advices from this tutorial I'd prefer update drivers for chipset and BIOS

The reason this is posted as a solution is because it appears to be a bug. We have not found a solution, but this works great.

I have also tried a BIOS update, as well as numerous other things, to no avail. This worked.

There is no simple solution.Each case is particular.It maybe cause by any device or driver - hard to diagnose.Neverless it's worth try to update BIOS and drivers sometimes it may help like for me- I had also the same issue and updating BIOS and drivers helped me. I know not everybody will have luck as I and workaround problem will be only way.

As I said, none for that worked for me. I already did try it.

i hope what i am about to ask does not seem stupid, but i assume once you follow the tutorial above you can then set it back to sleep? otherwise how do i get it to sleep if it is set to never

That turns off Hybrid Sleep which appears to cause the computer to not wake up. This still allows for regular sleep, as well as hibernation.

after following this tutorial and then setting setting sleep i still have my bsod issues on wake followed by an inabiltiy to boot requiring the install dvd system repair to be used my problem seems to come from then ntoskrnl.exe driver any other ideas or should i just hope this doesnt happen in the full release as i could really do with the wake on lan feature

Open up command prompt (run as admin) and type:

sfc /scannow

Then it might not be any corrupt DLLs.
Are all your drivers up to date, and all your Hardware compatible?
