Sleep Problem after "upgrading " to windows 10

I had the same problem with my Acer Aspire M3920 desktop computer after i did a clean install of Windows 10. When it goes into sleep or hibernate mode it was impossible to wake up computer. I had to do a forced shut down before I could boot my computer again.
The problem has not been fixed yet. Some people maybe could find some temporary fix but the main problem is not yet solved.

I had to reinstall Windows 7 again, from my recovery discs.

I posted because I could not find the answer...then found what I hope is the answer. I am not near my metered WiFi so have not been able to try it yet.

It looks like you're trying to upgrade from 8.1...?

First, take a full disk image (Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper - both free, + external USB drive (e.g.) needed
You should do this and use disk imaging regularly anyway.

Second, then try
a. uninstalling your AV/firewall if you have one (recommended practice).
b. making sure you're not running any programs likely to conflict e.g. Aeroglass..... and uninstall these
c. try again.

If upgrading still fails, try a new install and see if that helps. Obviously you would then lose all installed programs...
But you have the disk image to revert to, so you would separate hardware issues from software issues.

If that fails, try downloading a new iso and creating a Win 10 DVD and try again.

 

I've tried installing through outside the system and it fails, Uninstalled the antivirus (had to put it back on after) Aeroglass?

 

Sorry, don't understand 'through outside the system'. I'm not clear what you've tried of what I suggested..
If you can list
a. what you've tried
b. what happened (any error messages, outcomes, screenshot if helpful)
clearly and logically, someone may be able to help you better..

(Aeroglass- search and you'll find it easily- just one of several programs that are known to cause problems upgrading).

 

Download the ISO in this post how to create the activation token from your present Windows installation to use it to activate a clean-install.

 

Did you solve this? I have the same problem - see https://www.tenforums.com/installatio...what-next.html

 

Hi, I like the clean install suggestion for you in the other thread.. have you tried that?
Also suggest running chkdsk wherever relevant before retrying.

 

I thought you had to do an in place upgrade first for Windows 10 to activate? Anyway, I want to avoid all the time spent in reinstalling all my software if possible.

 

Activation in Windows 10 - Windows Help
Apparently MS have now (in latest build) decided to do what people 'expect' and allow the entry of qualifying license keys.

Only if
a. you can get back to running your Win 8 configuration again and then do a successful upgrade
or
b. Complete the existing one
will you be able to avoid reinstalling your programs and configuring your settings.

Had you
a. Taken a disk image of your Win 8 setup
or
b. Used a program such as Laplink PC Mover or Easeus ToDo Trans to take a transferrable copy of your installed programs
(which should be an excessive step in this case!)
you would be in with a chance of avoiding reinstallation.

Note that if you can't get to a working bootable configuration from where you are now, you may lose some of the licenses (assuming you have a secure copy of them) for your installed programs (e.g. giveaways).

 

I do have a full Macrium backup of my current 8.1 installation. The current installation problem just drops me back to Windows 8.1, Windows is still activated and I can easily delete the install files via Disk Cleanup.

 

Excellent.. wise man!
- so I suggest you look carefully at your installed programs and see if you see anything that might hook onto the Windows UI or modify it in any way, and uninstall that and your AV/firewall and try again.

Have you tried running a compatibility check?

OK, then uninstall or completely disable your antivirus, firewall, antispyware, any disk utility (Macrium, Acronis etc). Then go at Device Manager and disable any non-important device (audio, SATA/SCSI controller without devices attached, TV tuner etc). This will prevent any hardware incompatibilities (if Windows Update cannot find drivers for a device, installation stucks at some point). Also press Win+R to open a Run dialog and execute msconfig. Go to Services tab, check the box to hide all Microsoft services and then disable most non-important services (updaters etc). Then click on Startup tab and click to open Task Manager. Again disable any non-important application (QTtask, Skype, Java etc). This will prevent any software incompatibilities. Open the Windows 10 ISO or DVD, right-click on Setup and Run as Administrator (just in case). Now you should succeed.

PS: It is a good idea to execute a check disk to eliminate any disk errors before starting: Code: chkdsk c: /f[/quote]
