    How to wake up computer from sleep/black screen.


    I’m not new to computers, but I’m having difficulty understanding what’s actually wrong with mine. The settings indicate I should be able to wake up my laptop from sleep by either the mouse or keyboard. Yet nothing works unless I hold down the power button. Which isn’t ideal seeing as I lose everything I’m working on. All I would like is for me to be able to leave my computer, for the screen to turn off yet I’m still able to use it after pressing keys when I return. I’ve disabled the sleep option, changed screen and sleep settings ten times over, Updated my computer, yet nothing. Device manage

    Screens black after waking machine from sleep

    Hi Anthony,

    Does it only happen when waking up the computer from sleep?

    To check for possible causes of this issue, we suggest you to run Power Troubleshooter. To do so, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key.
    • Type Troubleshooting.
    • On the left side, click View all.
    • Click Power.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.
    If the issue still persists, you may update the Chipset driver from the device manufacturer.

    Let us know how it goes.

    How to wake up computer from sleep/black screen.

    Windows 10 Upgrade 1903 64 bit Sleep Wakes Up on Multiple Computers

    Someone suggested I look at all the drivers list before and after the upgrade. I did, nothing found/changed in drivers.

    What I did discover was that after the KB4503327 upgrade, if I put the computer to sleep mode (via power menu,) I discovered the computer wakes up after the minutes set in the "turn off screen".
    So, if the screen shutoff were five minutes and I put the computer to sleep, it would wake up after that amount of time, then turn the screens off after another time period of five minutes.

    At this point, I have set the screen turn-off to "never" and any other sleep mode to "never".
    Then, when I put the computer to sleep, it stays asleep.

    This issue was never seen until this OS upgrade was installed in the system.

    My next step is to upgrade the video adapter (something from 2007) to a new and different model adapter to see if that corrects this issue, or not. For now, my work-around is to set "never" in "sleep mode".
