  1. Power Options


    Having been stuck with the blue/black screen problem for months I am wondering whether I have found a solution. I have set the option for when the PC goes to sleep to Never, and, when I know I will not be wanting to use the system for a while I put it to sleep. This may just be avoiding whatever the cause of my finding the system 'stuck' when I return to it late in the day, but so far it seems to save me the hassle of restarting the system so often.


    When I return to wake it up the Enter key does the trick, but not always. Sometimes I find myself using the 3 finger salute Ctrl - Alt - Del. Then I have to sign on again, too!


    Does this make sense?

  3. sleep mode and power options not working on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Forums.

    For issues with sleep mode and power options follow the steps provided below.

    Run the Power troubleshooter and check.

    Follow the steps to run the troubleshooter:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Type Troubleshooting in search and click
      Troubleshooting.
    • Now type Power in the search option.
    • Click on Power troubleshooter to run.

    I would suggest you to try updating the Display driver and check if the issue persists. If you already have all the latest drivers from Windows updates, then I would suggest you to visit the computer manufacturer's website, download and install the latest
    drivers in compatibility mode and check.

    Hope this helps.
