  1. Why is my laptop not waking from sleep, when lid is closed?


    I have a dell inspiron 2 in 1 running win 11. Using a docking Hub, for desktop. About 2 months ago I started having to open the lid to wake up the laptop, if I leave lid up, when the laptop goes into sleep mode, I can wake by using external keyboard or mouse, but the lid has to be open for this to work, can’t figure out why, I’ve been through the power settings made sure that they are set to when lid is closed do nothing is set, along with numerous other settings any other ideas? I’m thinking a update started the problem, as before it was working just fine.

  2. Laptop does not wake from sleep using mouse and keyboard when the lid is close, but can wake when the lid is open.

    Hi, so followed all of the instructions and these are my experiences:

    • I tried to close the lid and do what you've said like pointing the cursor to recycle bin and it works, after i did the folder was open. However, this is because when I close the lid my laptop still not in sleep mode. So i waited for it to sleep and see the light blinking then i tried clicking and there was no response.
    • Then, I tried the clean boot. Step by step as per instructions but nothing works. Still experiencing the same problem. I'm really wondering why, now i connected the hdmi cable and working with the monitor "Second Screen Only". The laptop lid is open and everything is working properly, I close the lid and still working fine. I tried to put it asleep but the mouse or keyboard can't wake the screen. Then I tried the same set up, second screen only, then put it asleep while the lid is open. Touch the mouse and my laptop was wake immediately.

  3. Laptop tries to wake from sleep while lid is closed.

    Hello,

    I have a Gateway NV53A with Windows 10 Home installed. When I close the lid, it goes to sleep normally for a few hours, but after a few hours it will start to get caught in a never ending "wake up loop" i.e. the laptop will try to wake itself up before quickly
    realizing that it can't because the lid is closed. The DVD drive will continuously start to spin up each time. This happens every two or three seconds. The sound of the DVD drive trying to spin up every three seconds is annoying and it also wastes battery.
    Normally, I have to hit a key on the keyboard to wake up the laptop after opening the lid again, but when it's in one of these wake up loops, it successfully wakes itself up upon opening the lid (evidence suggesting it's indeed trying to wake itself up.)

    I've tried using the command line to see what devices are permitted to wake up the device, but none were listed. I've also disabled wake on LAN.

    The only clue I've been able to find is an error in the system log that reads: "The system firmware has changed the processor's memory type range registers (MTRRs) across a sleep state transition (S4). This can result in reduced resume performance."

    However, I'm not sure this pertains to the specific issue I'm having.

    Why is my laptop not waking from sleep, when lid is closed?

    Laptop cannot wake up from sleep if the lid was closed

    Since the Windows 10 May 2019 update, the laptop cannot wake up when the lid is opened. The power button lights up and fans start up but the screen stays black and the computer doesn't respond to any button (not even the power button which would normally
    put it to sleep), or to closing the lid again.

    The problem only occurs if the sleep was triggered by closing the lid. If I press the power button or choose the sleep option from the Start menu, it works properly, even if the lid was closed after it went to sleep.

    It's an Asus GL502VM. I used to have similar issues occasionally when it wouldn't wake up from hibernation properly, the screen stayed black. Pressing the power button or closing the lid to send it to sleep and waking up again solved the problem. Now it
    doesn't react to anything and it happens every time I close the lid.
