  1. My second monitor will not wake from sleep half of the time


    Lately my computer struggles to sleep. There are 2 issues.

    1 After being asleep for 3-5 mins my PC just comes on, fans and lights start up and it sounds like it's working on something. screens stay dark. I can't figure out if there's a background process or something.


    The more annoying of the two issues:

    2 When I wake my comp, one of my screens doesn't wake. My secondary monitor wakes and becomes primary and I have to turn my primary off and turn back on. I can't figure out why this only sometimes happens, probably 50% of the time but seems like more and more lately.

    My primary monitor is 1440p 144hz, my secondary is 1080p 60hz, and the 1080p is the one that will wake every time.


    PC specs: Windows 10, ryzen r5 1600, asus strix b350, 16gb 3200hz ram, evga 2080, sata ssid.

  2. wake from sleep issue in windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your reply. Apologize for the delay in response.

    I suggest you to check which devices are configured to wake up the computer from sleep by following the steps below:

    • Right click on Start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type the command line below:
    Powercfg /devicequery wake_armed

    3. Check if the devices (Keyboard, Mouse, Ethernet cable) are listed.

    If the system is not going to sleep and going to Hybernate, the only option to wake up is to press the Power button.

    Hope the information is helpful.

  3. Using laptop as desktop - can't wake it from sleep with wireless mouse or keyboard.

    • 4. Test waking from Sleep with the monitor connected to the laptop.
    • 5. Disconnect the monitor from the laptop, reboot, then test waking from Sleep without an external monitor.

    No luck with monitor connected. Disconnected the monitor, rebooted, then tested wake-from-sleep with no external monitor - no luck.

  4. My second monitor will not wake from sleep half of the time

    Windows 10 second monitor does not wake up after sleeping

    When logging into windows 10 my second of two ASUS VS247H monitors does not wake (turn on). I've checked all the settings on the monitor, no deep sleep mode settings. I've updated my NVidia GeForce GTX 960 drivers. I've check all of the Win OS setting
    for monitors. The Monitors run in extended mode, Monitor 2 and Monitor 1, left to right with Monitor 2 set as Primary, i.e. where my start menu and taskbar is displayed. Both monitors are the same brand and model, and swapping the cables makes no difference.
    Re-seating the Graphics card makes no difference. I'm on Window 10 1703 version of OS.

    After I login with monitors, the monitor's on/off light is amber color (no signal), the other monitor turns blue (on).

    If I turn the monitor off and then back on, it works, light turns blue.
