Before Anniversary Update I got the above.

I now only see Hibernate after.

This happened on Surface Pro 4.

Please help.

Thank you.

 

Hybrid sleep missing after Windows 10 anniversary update

I'm pretty sure it was one of the following updates that removed the sleep option from the surface pro 4 as this occured from August 30th:

Windows Update History Name

Device Manager Name

Microsoft driver update for Surface Management Engine

Surface Management Engine

v11.0.15.1003 improves stability and performance when you change between power states.

Microsoft driver update for Surface UEFI

Surface UEFI

v106.1281.768.0 improves stability and performance when you change between power states.

Microsoft driver update for Surface Integration

Surface Integration

v1.0.103.0 improves the device usability and battery life.

Microsoft driver update for Surface Integration Service Device

Surface Integration Service Device

v1.0.146.0 makes sure the default Balanced power plan is set correctly when the operating system is updated.

 

It should still there after the update.

It might be worth checking that your registry entry to enable hybrid sleep has not been changed. The setting for HiberbootEnabled should be 1

 

Thank you philc43 but I have no way of knowing is hybrid sleep works.

If I use sleep does that mean hybrid sleep is in use?

 

Actually hybrid sleep is off by default in laptops. Please see the following Microsoft Article which explains the reasons why they do this:

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/old...10-00/?p=10703

 

Sleep - turns of pc, keeping all things in RAM - needs some low level power all the time (e.g. battery on laptop). Restart is virtually instantaneous

hibernate - turns of pc, dumping RAM to a file, and Restart writes data back to RAM. PC powers down during hibernate, and Restart takes a few seconds.

Hybrid does both - keeps stuff in RAM, and dumps RAM to file, so Restart is instantaneous, but if power is lost, data on disk is restored to RAM (slower).

For laptops without mains power, sleep is usually perfectly adequate unless a dodgy battery. You will get several days easily out of a modern battery in sleep mode.

I always turn hibernation off on my laptops, and especially on tablets, as the hibernation file takes a fair bit of storage spac.

Whichever you use, it is dumb to rely on sleep etc. - always make sure open files eg in Word are saved before sleeping/hibernating.

 

So as I understand it hybrid sleep on Windows 10 Anniversary Update on laptops can only be used by using powercfg command from command prompt.

Is this correct or am I missing something?

 

No, the power option is still there for my laptop. I have pasted the screenshot below:

 

I do not see it after Windows 10 Anniversary Upgrade I only see Hibernate after.

Please can someone explain where I am going wrong.

Thank you.

 

This would suggest that for some reason your Motherboard does not support it. Perhaps during the Anniversary update an updated version of one of the MB drivers was installed that prevents this function. Very strange!


Edit: new thought - do you have any BIOS setting disabled such as a "Suspend to RAM"?

 

I have a Windows Surface Pro 4 and there is no setting Suspend to RAM.

Anybody else have some suggestions?

 

Have tried everything.

Please see http://windowsreport.com/hybrid-slee...ersary-update/.

Have tried what is on site and still do not see hybrid sleep as shown in screen capture above by philc43.

Anybody have any other ideas?

 

I think it is because you have the Surface Pro 4 which uses leading edge technology for the sleep states and I believe no longer uses the hybrid sleep mode. The Surface is in a class of devices that uses Modern Standby rather than traditional S1- S3 Sleep modes.

Refer to the following article for more information: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/lib...(v=vs.85).aspx

The W10 AU has no doubt improved the handling of these power states for your device.
