    Windows 10 shuts down instead of going to sleep


    I am using an HP ENVY x360. A problem just started occurring about 5 days ago. Whenever, there is a lack of activity or I press the power button, or I close the lid, it shuts down instead of going to sleep. This is super frustrating, particularly when I am in the middle of working on something and pause for lunch or something and when I come back the computer has shut all the way down. Any recommendations?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 shuts down instead of going to sleep

    Hi,

    I am using Dell XPS 13. All of a sudden my windows 10(64 bit) is behaving annoyingly. Whenever, there is a lack of activity or I press the power button, or I close the lid, it shuts down instead of going to sleep.

    Things I tried to solve this issue

    - Went over the power settings. All of them are still at "Sleep". Reset to default but still no luck

    - Ran the power troubleshooter and it does not show any issue

    Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Laptop shuts down instead of going to sleep

    I have a year-old Asus laptop and recently installed Windows 10. Now, instead of going to sleep it shuts down.

    If I just leave it running, eventually it goes to sleep. If I don't leave it sleeping for too long it will wake up properly. But if I leave it sleeping for a while it will shut down. If I close the lid, instead of sleeping it shuts down. Under "what
    to do when the lid is closed" it is set to go to sleep but obviously this isn't working properly.

    This is getting to be a real pain. Every time I open the lid I have to wait while it boots up.

    So far, on a scale of 1 - 10 my satisfaction level with Windows 10 is about a 2!

    Computer shuts down instead of going to sleep or hibernate

    Good afternoon,

    My pc shuts down instead of going to sleep. When I press the on/off button, the sleepbutton, close the lid, or click on 'sleep' in the startmenu, my computer "pretends" going to sleep: the ledlight on the case is blinking, as if the system is sleeping.

    But, when I want to wake up the computer, it does not wake up, but it restarts. All applications are closed, unsaved work is vanished, et cetera...

    The problem is there: 'fast boot' enabeled or not.

    The problem has arrived just a couple of days ago, just after a windows upgrade

    (which it does without my approval)

    What I have already tried (and failed):


    Who will help me?

    Sincerely,

    Brecht

    System configuration:

    Asus N551jk

    Intel Core I7

    Gefore GTX 850m

    Windows 10
