Windows 10: Windows 10 freezes when waking up from sleep

I have an old HP Compaq 6005 Pro Small Form Factor desktop PC. Yes, I know it's old and outdated and I should upgrade, but I can't afford that right now.

Lately, when I try to wake my PC up from sleep, one of the following happens:

1. The screen is black the screen is on and back lit, but there is no mouse cursor, and clicking or pressing keys on keyboard does not do anything.

2. The screen is blue. Same as above, but blue instead.

3. The lock screen wallpaper shows, but only the wallpaper. Same thing where clicking and keyboard presses do not do anything.


This requires me to hold down the power button and force the PC to shutdown. Here are the steps I've tried so far tor esolve this:

- Ran DISM and SFC. SFC says it found corrupt files and repaired them successfully.

- Disabled hibernation via Command Prompt and turned off fast startup in Control Panel.

- Changed sign-in options, such as removing password, adding new password, adding PIN, not requiring password when waking up from sleep.

- Modying registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon to save Default Username, DefaultPassword, and AutoAdminLogon.


Nothing I've done so far has fixed the issue, and I don't recall any changes being made prior to the issue starting.


Please help me!!

wake from sleep issue in windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your reply. Apologize for the delay in response.

I suggest you to check which devices are configured to wake up the computer from sleep by following the steps below:

• Right click on Start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type the command line below:

Powercfg /devicequery wake_armed

3. Check if the devices (Keyboard, Mouse, Ethernet cable) are listed.

If the system is not going to sleep and going to Hybernate, the only option to wake up is to press the Power button.

Hope the information is helpful.

 

Windows 10 freezes after waking up from sleep


Trying Windows 10 again on my HP-15 laptop and I've noticed that when I put the laptop to sleep by pressing the power button (which I have set to sleep), when I wake it up by moving the mouse or pressing the keyboard it wakes and the desktop appears, but then a second later it freezes and i have to press control alt delete (which takes a minute to respond) and then press task manager to get out of it. When it freezes the mouse curses will show that circle thing and nothing works (whatever I click etc) though I can move the cursor around. If I try to sleep again after I break out of the freeze it works fine, I can wake and no freeze. But if I shutdown or restart the laptop the first time I make it sleep it freezes.

I've tried some things including rolling back the IME driver (which fixed a shutdown issue and is a recommended fix for hp laptops with shutdown/sleep issues), making sure I have all updates, that the keyboard and mouse have the wake up setting checked etc. Windows 8.1, which I upgraded from, worked perfectly with this. My roommate has same laptop and he has same exact issue.


Thanks for any suggestions.

 

Windows 10 Anniversary Update freezes at lock screen when waking from sleep

Getting Firefox v48.0.2 was a separate task. It wasn't meant to correct the "freezing" after waking from Sleep mode.

Question: Does the "freezing" persist after waking from Hibernate mode? See
