  1. Windows 10 Sleep Issue - sleeps on fresh restart, but once I start loading apps won't sleep...


    Hello,


    Another Windows 10 sleep question/issue. Originally I had Windows 10 sleep issues so I disabled 3rd party apps during startup as well as some of the services, which fixed it. When I start my computer for the first time without most 3rd party apps running my computer sleeps when idle as expected. Once I start loading Slack, Onedrive, Outlook, etc. the computer never goes to sleep again. Even if I close out the apps.


    In device manager I made sure "Allow the computer to turn off this device" was checked and "Allow this device to wake computer" were unchecked on the Ethernet controller as I figured there may be some background processes causing the computer to stay awake.


    Pulling my hair out on this one, anyone else have any recommendations. I've gone through the standard sleep things like resetting back to default power settings, allow to sleep during media share, etc.


    Thanks,


    ZD

    :)

    Windows won't boot back up from sleep

    Check your power settings in the BIOS. Windows 7 sleep mode works fine. I wouldn't suggest disabling it. Why have your system sucking air and spinning drive if your not using it. I have seen some issues with some input devises not allowing the system to go to sleep. But Drone mentioned it

    Pc restart after exiting sleep mode

    well if it works within 5min, sounds like it could be losing power

    'restarts after exiting sleep mode' do you mean it acts like a fresh cold boot? or you see the windows logging off screens, then it restarts?

    i never use sleep or hibernate, risk of losing the session & waste of hard drive space

    sleep or hibernate

    sleep and hibernate are the same thing now.


    S3 'sleep' has the entire system powered off, EXCEPT for system ram. a copy of ram is stored on the HDD when entering sleep.
    To answer the OP's question about the HDD taking wear and tear moving the laptop around - in sleep mode, it is powered off. ONLY system RAM has power in S3 sleep states.

    Hibernate is when it loses power, it boots from the saved copy of ram. Often, this can load slower than a fresh boot since it has to load more from the HDD than usual.


    so asking which you prefer... well, unless its a laptop you plan to store overnight or something, use sleep. its the same thing.

    S3 sleep drains my laptop battery at only 2-3% an hour, so its not like its going to have a large impact on daily use.
