    My laptop has been working fine since forever but after the last updates,It has just gotten into a habit of shutting down unless I keep any key pressed.Once it shuts down/Sleeps...any long press fixes the issues and it comes back to life,However it only stays awake if I continue to keep any key pressed on keyboard.I have reinstalled windows by formatting the hard drive and restored the BIOS too but the problem still exists.Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Is it possible to shut down the computer (or sleep) using the keyboard and not the mouse?

    Hi,

    It is still possible to use the keyboard shortcuts keys to shutdown your computer by following the steps below:

    • Make sure you are on the desktop page.
    • Press and hold ALT + F4.
    • Shut Down Windows will open and you can use arrow keys to either Sleep,
      Sign out, Shut down, or Restart.
    • Hit Enter on preferred choice and the mode will take effect.

    Get back to us if you need further assistance.

  3. Computer Shuts Down When Woken From Sleep Mode

    I've had Windows 10 for a while but recently my Acer desktop computer shuts down every time I wake it from sleep mode by pressing a key. This happens whatever length of time the computer has been in sleep mode.

    I've tried suggested solutions like .power and sleep options, but nothing works.

    I would very much appreciate a solution to this problem. Thanks.

    Computer shuts down/sleeps unless any random key on computer is pressed.

    Computer Sleep Option Missing in Settings

    The Settings Power and Sleep menu in Settings should list Screen and Sleep, where Sleep is used to tell when the PC goes to sleep. Sleep is missing, so my computer never sleeps. Fast startup and Hibernate are not enabled.

    I used Tutorial Add or Remove Sleep in Power menu in Windows 10 to change the registry while in administrative mode, but sleep still is not seen.


    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FlyoutMenuSettings now lists :1: It was 0 before the change.

    I cannot get a large image, so will type
    Default REG_SZ (value not set)
    ShowHibernate REG_DWORD 0X00000000 (0)
    ShowLockOption REG_DWORD 0X00000000 (1)
    ShowLockOption REG_DWORD 0X00000000 (1)

    I used Option 3 to add sleep using the Group Policy Editor. The steps seemed to work fine, but sleep is still missing.

    I’m using a “new” refurbished Dell T3500 workstation with mbr running the current version of win10. I have a number of these computers, and the other all have the normal sleep mode .

    Any suggestions? Jim
