Windows 10: Blue Screen on returning from Sleep Mode - Toshiba Laptop

That would seem to be the case. I have read that on several other posts in the Forum.
We will know better once I do the new clean install. I will keep you informed of the results.

There is a thread here that deals with this problem on a Dell laptop, where several member solved the problem by installing the graphics driver offered by Dell in Windows 8.1 compatibility mode.
I never got around to learning how to read dump files. Do you see anything in them that would indicate the graphics driver in my case?

If I do that method I will need to find a way to stop Windows from installing the driver update automatically in the clean install. It happened very quickly after getting to the desktop after installing. I don't know if I will have time to change the Automatic Device Installation settings before the downloads start.
Maybe I will just turn off my router.

 

I couldn't find anything related to the graphics driver.
I'll analyse the dumps again when I get home from school to be sure.

 

Here is the thread:
Unable to come out of Sleep mode - Windows 10 Forums

 

I have analysed some dumps again, but nothing related to the graphic drivers

 

An Update:

Being stubborn, I did go ahead and uninstall the graphics driver to test that hypothesis.

Upon restarting, I was on the generic Windows driver. I was unable to test that driver because there is no Sleep Mode with it, and closing the lid shuts down.

I then installed an older version of the Intel driver in Windows 8 compatibility Mode. No joy, same symptom.
I reinstalled the most recent Intel driver in standard mode, still the same symptom.

Still waiting for MS to find a fix I guess.

Interesting geeky note: The older Intel driver (10.18.15.4235) defaulted to Windows 8 in the (Test Compatibility) compatibility window. But the newer driver (10.18.15.4256) defaulted to Windows XP SP3 when tested!*Huh

 

Give Microsoft feedback, as long as there are enough complains, they'll push it harder *Wink

 

What is the best way to do that?

 

Search for feedback and open the Windows Feedback app.
On the left side are some categories, click on power and battery and then on either sleep or hibernate.

 

I'm not a BSOD'er, but I do know on some PC's if Fast startup in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\System Settings is turned on, it can also cause problems resuming from sleep and hibernate. Try turning it off if it's on. Also turn of hibernate to delete what's saved there in case it's corrupted, and if you don't need it, just leave it on.

Admin command prompt:

powercfg /hibernate on

powercfg /hibernate off

 

Hi CliffS.

No hibernation set on this machine.

Not sure what you mean by System Settings in Power Options. I do not see that option here. I did check under Advanced Power Options, but did not see anything pertaining to Fast Startup in any of the settings.

I always create a power plan named "Diagnostic" on my PCs in which all settings are high performance and always on. The problem also persists in the Diagnostic power plan.

 

It looks like you have functionality in W10 Pro that I do not have in W10 Home.

Click "Choose what the power buttons do"

 

Ah! There it is.

How foolish of me to no know that "Choose what Power Buttons Do" = "System Settings"!

Giving that a try now.

 

Yikes!
Changing that setting changed the behavior alright! The machine Froze and Blue Screened (Critical Process Died) immediately upon waking this time.
Before, it would reach the desktop before freezing and Bluescreening. Sometimes (but not often) not Bluescreening at all.

Thanks for the suggestion, but no joy unfortunately.

 

I have mine set up this way.

Have you tried running SFC and DISM in an admin command prompt.

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup&sfc/scannow&Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth&sfc/scannow&pause

let it run through then
reboot and run it again to check if it cleaned everything. It
may take awhile depending on your hardware(HDD or SSD), and it may
appear to freeze at 20% on the third part, just be patient and
let in run out.
