Windows 10: Programs freeze after sleep or hibernate.

Hello. I am currently having a problem where if I keep programs open while my laptop goes into idle or hibernate mode, some or all freeze when I wake my laptop. I've tried updating windows/dell drivers, factory resetting my laptop, scanning for viruses, "scannow" "restore health" in the command prompt, turning off the power settings in "intel management engine interface", full dell hardware scans and turning off fast startup. I'm using a dell g7 17 and my cpu and gpu temps usually stay around 50 idle and 80-90 while gaming. This problem started after a factory reset as I did not have this prob

Sleep,hibernate, and shutdown

Hi,

Usually, Sleep and Hibernate features are used to save power when using a computer. However, hibernate may not be available for all PCs as it was designed for laptops. Regarding your concern, since you’re trying to turn
off or disable these features, you may follow the step below:

• To turn off Sleep:
  
  Go to Settings > System > Power & sleep. Then, select
  Never from the drop-down list under the Sleep section.
  
  
  
  
  
• To disable Hibernate:
  

• Type Command Prompt in the Search box from
  Start.
• Right-click on it, then select Run as administrator.
• In the Command Prompt window, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off and press
  Enter. Close the window.

We’re just here if you need further help.

 

sleep or hibernate

I think you have sleep and hibernate confused... sleep just puts the computer in a low power state, making resuming the session faster... hibernate shuts down the whole computer and basically just saves whats in RAM to the hdd and loads it on next startup. IIRC...
