  2. Black screen instead of the lock screen when waking up laptop from sleep

    sorry for the late reply but updating the graphics driver didn't work. Do you go to the device manager too for the video driver?

    Just a hunch, but will updating the ACPI sleep button solve the problem? I haven't tried it.

    Hi Denice,

    Thank you for posting back.

    I suggest you to update the Display adapters driver from the Device Manager and check if it works.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Press Windows + R on the Keyboard.

    • Type in devmgmt.msc and click on
      Ok
      .

    • Select the Graphic driver from the list by extending
      Display adapters
      .

    • Right click on the Graphic driver and click on Update driver Software.
    If the issue persists then, I would recommend you to download and install the latest video driver for the manufacturer and check if it works.

    Hope the above the information was helpful. If you need further assistance, we will be glad to assist you.

    Are you by any chance doing remote access to that PC?
    Sometimes a black screen is an indication of that.

    On the black screen, do you see icons? Mouse cursor? Or completely black without anything on it?
