Windows 10: HP laptop sleep mode

Hi - Just installed Win10 on my 4 yr old HP G60535D. Now I have have to re-boot everytime I shut the lid. *Shock Played around with power settings, etc etc but no love. When I first open the lid, I can hear the computer running, a slight mechanical burp of some sort, then nothing...totally blank screen. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off, then re-boot. A 1st world problem for sure, but kind of irritating. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Windows 10 Sleep & Power Settings

Hi All,

I am having a continuous problem with my HP Envy Laptop. First my mouse would not bring the laptop out of sleep mode. I went back into the power/sleep settings tried to correct that issue. Now my mouse will bring the laptop back from sleep mode. At least
I think it is sleep mode. However, when I shut down my laptop, the power light is still on and does not go off. I have to hold it down for a few seconds before it actually shuts down. Does any know the actual or proper settings fir the power/sleep modes
for a laptop. In my research, they PC experts say not to put a laptop into hibernate mode.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set the power/sleep mode settings for this thing to perform correctly?

Thanks,

Mark

 

Try shutting it down by
Right click the start button
Then Scroll to Shut down and sign out
Then click >
That will bring up 4 options
Then click SHUT DOWN

That is the way I do it
As the way you seem to do it you are only putting it to sleep

 

What did you do with the Power Options and what exactly do you want ?

Do you want to put the computer to Sleep mode when you close the lid ?
If yes, go back to your Power Options > left side, click Choose what closing the lid does > right side, at When I close the lid, make sure you set it at Sleep > click Save changes when done.

My screenshot is from my laptop.




If however, you want to computer to Shut down, which I don't think what is you are asking anyway, you will then click the pointer and select Shut down.

 

davidhk and hTconeM9user:
Thank you for your replies. I want the computer to go into sleep mode when I shut the lid. My settings are just like your image. But when I reopen the lid, the screen stays blank. I have to hold down the power button till it shuts down, then reboot. This has only started with the recent installation of Win 10. For now I have the settings on "Do Nothing", but I don't need the computer to be on all the time. It seems like Win10 has introduced a glitch into the onboard HP power management s/w (??).

 

...............For now I have the settings on "Do Nothing"........................
I wouldn't recommend that.
IF Sleep mode does not work, which I don't understand why not, set it to Shut down when closing the lid.
Don't set it at "do nothing". You are draining the battery.

 

makvic,

It might be because your user account is corrupted.

Create another user account with the same privileges as this one > log on to it > set you power options > see if it goes to sleep mode when you close the lid.
If it does, then your original account is corrupted. Backup the files you want to keep > then delete the corrupt account.
