    Sleep and Shutdown


    This problem is really ridiculous. There are 3 pc's in the house and the main oneMINE has the problem.I have tried everything in all the previous folks that have the same problem to no sleep or shutdown. I have been just turning off monitors so they aren't damaged,if that still happens.

    I will try anything else if there is something...

    Thanks

  3. Shutdown & Sleep bug

    Hello there,

    I'm having Dell Inspiron 5547 when it was shipped it came with windows 8.1 64-bit with no issues of SLEEP & SHUTDOWN but when updated to windows 10 my laptop started having issues with SLEEP & SHUTDOWN.

    1)When I close the lid or keep the system in sleep mode it never wakes up its need a hard boot or need to have forced shutdown by pressing the power button, still no patch for the bug is available.

    2)when the system is shutdown it continues to draw power from the battery and in morning the battery is completely drained.

    Have gone through entire suggestion given by Microsoft engineer & community member but had no solution.

    Hence contacted Dell support but they told its Microsoft's problem hence contacted them below is the list of tickets so generated with no solution:-

    920338887

    1314118108

    1311883091

    1311881250

    1314642321

    1314806258

    Finally one of the Microsoft executive said it's an issue with the DELL drivers when contacted to DELL they said its an issue of MICROSOFT and they have in written from Microsoft that both issue are because of WINDOWS 10.

    I'm feeling like a football who is been kicked from one goalpost to another with no goal scored...

    Now what should be the final solution as now I can't rollback to windows 8.1 as I'm way past the grace period for rollback???

  4. Sleep and Shutdown

    Windows Will Not Sleep or Shutdown from Start Menu

    Hello! I can't get my PC to go to Sleep, or Shutdown using any of the typically proper methods. When I try to shutdown the PC it starts to shutdown, screen goes black and then wakes back up to the login screen.

    I have gone through and disabled all of the devices that might other wise prevent this from happening. I have done the following to try and remedy the issue.
    • Check the powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
      • This returns a NONE after disabling devices from Device Management
    • Ran powercfg -lastwake
      • Wake History Count - 0
    • Opened my Power Options > Multimedia Settings > When sharing media > Setting: Allow the computer to sleep

    I have recently completed a clean windows install. One of the changes that I have noticed was that my BIOS now runs in UEFI mode, not Legacy. I'm not sure that this matters or not, but in my BIOS menu, the Boot Manager only list the Windows Boot Manger, not a list of devices.

    Thank you any guidance would be appreciated, I would love to be able to Sleep and Shutdown my computer properly again.
