Windows 10: auto restart process

my problem is that every time my laptop wakes up from sleep my fan control software resets its parameters to default, i need to kill the process and restart it and it will go back to normal.

as i see it i need a batch file to auto run every 5 mins or ideally every time the laptop wakes from sleep (if this can be done).
the batch file needs to kill the fan control program then instantly open the program backup.
i have very limited knowledge when it comes to batch files and would like help in how to create one with what commands i need.

thanks in advance

windows 10 operating system can't load on my Dell PC error "inaccessible boot device"

After doing an update for quick books, my Dell PC with windows 10 automatically restarted. I got an error message saying inaccessible boot device and PC restarted again and went to diagnosing your PC and then auto repair auto repair which sugessted I
restart and the same process began again

 

Windows 10 task bar won't hide

I only did what you said under processes and it worked. I didn't go under details just processes. Is this a permanent fix?

 

What fan control software? With laptops.....one should never mess with the fan settings due to the heat build up from such a confined space.

 

Hwinfo64
Have been using it for years with no problems. The thing is my hp laptop has fast spinning fans even with no to little use.

 

I use the same thing.....and no where in there does it make fan speed changes. It's just a monitoring software for temps and speeds among a few others. You'll have to take some screen shots and post them so I can see that.

By default, your laptop fan speed is set to high. Some laptops will let you change the speed fan settings in the BIOS and that's run by the thermal cut off so you don't burn up your CPU.

 

According to your specs, you're using Win 8....??

 

no that's outdated sorry
the laptop in question is a hp elitebook 2540p running windows 10 64bit

 

- to which process are you referring?

And what's your CPU usage after you resume? Could you post a screenshot of your task manager?
To post a screenshot please use the Insert Image icon above your post to the left of the video icon. Thanks.

 

OK so this is a shot of the default settings that HWINFO64 sets when you first install.

I changed the numbers so the fan is as quiet as it can be on low cpu usage.

The only thing I use the laptop for is watching mp4 files and light browsing so my cpu usage is very low at all times.
I have tested these settings with running movies over a long period and it performs well.

I have also looked at the cpu usage when resuming from sleep and there is hardly any difference. I am convinced that the issue is with the software not keeping the data in memory correctly so you get the default settings when it resumes from sleep. This is why I ask if I can somehow build a script to kill the process and instantly restart so the settings are how I want them.

also note that ive been using this program with older versions of windows and the problem isn't there when I resume from sleep

 

Mine doesn't show the fan icon and I using version 5.56. So let me update mine and see if the fan icon is added.

 

only shows on some models mate. I figured that out ass it doesn't show on my other laptop

 

You can make a batch file like this Code: taskkill /F /IM HWiNFO64.exe start "HWiNFO64" "C:\Users\Hali\Downloads\hw64_558\HWiNFO64.exe"[/quote] Save it somewhere as HWiNFO_restart.bat . You must make the path in red above the same as where you have the HWiNFO64.exe on your system - mine was in downloads.

Then use task scheduler to run it on resume from sleep. From task scheduler click "create new task".

1. On general tab name it and set to run with highest privileges as HWiNFO needs administrator rights.




2. On Trigger tab create a new trigger to launch task when Event ID 1 is received in the Power-Troubleshooter System log (this is resume from sleep)




3. On action tab add a new action to call the bat file (put the path where you saved the bat file)




4. On the conditions untick the "Run only on AC power" if you want.




Nothing to do on the settings tab so you can just click OK to save it.

I've not tested the fan (as I have wrong make of laptop so don't have the option) but it restarts the program OK.

I'm guessing "C:\Users\Hali\Downloads\hw64_558\HWiNFO64.exe" is where your program files are

 

Yes - it is where I downloaded it (I used the portable version).

Yours will be in "C:\Program Files\Something or other" if you installed it I guess.
