  1. Windows 10 2004 shows old non-existent desktop files briefly after waking from sleep


    Really weird bug I'm experiencing, I wonder if anyone else has seen this on 2004 as well. Every time I wake my computer, it shows old desktop files for 2-3 seconds before they disappear. The files shown change each time. They're all files that I have had on my desktop at some point in the past.

    In the screenshot below, these are files I would have had on my desktop circa 2017/18:

    The files are not actually there, and they either disappear in a few seconds, or if I right click and "refresh" the desktop. I have also searched my computer for these files and they definitely do not exist anymore.

    As an example, you can see a pirated copy of Get Out on my desktop (sue me). I'm a psychopath and keep a diary - I watched the movie on 4th November 2018, and would have removed the file afterwards.

    Windows 10 - Problem waking up from sleep mode

    This worked for me on a Lenovo Horizon2 27 all-in-one PC that was able to sleep manually but could not be wakened once sleeping after upgrading to Windows 10 Home.

    I ran the powercfg /energy and examined the report as GoWMike describes. It showed no driver errors but suggested that there is a problem with the system's "High Performance" power setting that may prevent normal waking from manually induced sleep.

    I used powercfg /list to show available modes, copied the GUID for Balanced mode, and then used this with the powercfg /activate command to change the plan.

    I also used powercfg /devicequery wake_from_any

    to get a list of device names for components capable of waking the system from sleep, and then I used

    powercfg /deviceenablewake <devicename>

    to make certain that the touchscreen and power button are armed to wake the machine.

    After restarting, sleep and wake then functioned properly again.

  3. 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.
