Windows 10: It takes way too long to wake up from sleep and also when I open the lid,which is set to be...

My brand new laptop takes ages to wake up from sleep mode,and when I open the lid.Apart from this the screen shots saved by snipping tool behave in a similar fashion of taking over a minute to open.If this is the condition with a new lap top,then I can imagine the plight of those who go through similar trouble with their older lap tops.Very annoying though,least to say,and no help forthcoming to troubleshoot from Microsoft agents either.

How do I prevent the Laptop from waking up from sleep if the lid is opened

If I put my Lenovo W541 to sleep and open the lid, it wakes up automatically.

Is there any way to prevent this?

The lid close action is set to do nothing both in plugged-in and battery mode.

Yet the Laptop is waking up as soon as I open the lid.

I'd prefer only waking up from sleep mode if I press the power button.

 

Can't wake up laptop from sleep without opening the lid

Hello.

I used to be able to wake up my laptop with my USB mouse and keyboard, but about 1-2 months ago it stopped working.

In order to wake it up, I now have to open the lid. I don't need to press any buttons, merely lifting the lid a few centimetres wakes the computer up.

What's interesting, I can wake it up with mouse/keyboard within a few minutes of it going to sleep. But if I leave it in a sleep state for longer, if I walk away and come back in a few hours, mouse/keyboard can no longer wake it up and I have to open the
lid.

Any suggestions?

 

Using laptop as desktop - can't wake it from sleep with wireless mouse or keyboard.

• I'm having a very difficult time following the narrative in your last five (5) replies.

I've tried to be as clear and concise as possible.

• Have you or have you not installed Avast Free?

I hadn't uninstalled it, only deactivated it; but just now I did uninstall it, then re-booted the laptop, put it to sleep and tried to wake it using the mouse. No luck.

• You just posted: "Just now, I disconnected the mouse, keyboard and monitor; manually put it to sleep using the Start Menu icons (because the lid action is still set to do nothing); closed the lid; and when I opened the lid it woke up."
• So the Notebook PC (laptop) "wakes up" now as long as the external devices (i.e., mouse; keyboard; monitor) are not connected to the ASUS device, is that correct?

Mouse and keyboard connected or disconnected doesn't have any effect on what happens:

- Opening the lid wakes the laptop.

- If the lid is already open and I put the laptop to sleep, pressing the power button wakes up the laptop.

- Lid open or closed, if I put the laptop to sleep and try to wake it using the mouse or keyboard, nothing happens.
