    So, currently I'm experiencing a problem that my PC is unable to sleep with peripherals attached. It even stays on despite closing the lid. If someone could help me out with this, I'd be really grateful, as I can't seem to figure it out myself.So, I'm running a Surface Laptop Studio on version 22000.556. On its own it goes to sleep normally logged in Windows settings, but whenever I have anything attached using the Surface Dock 2, be it a monitor, keyboard, whatever, it often times doesn't go to sleep correctly, seeing how the external keyboard stays lit for example. Usually, it takes abou

  2. Laptop not sleeping when lid is closed and plugged in

    Thank you for your help

    Unfortunately this has not helped but I have made some interesting observations for the past 2 weeks

    My laptop still has this problem in both sleeping and hibernating

    It won't sleep or hibernate fully when I press the buttons in the start menu which forces me to hard shut down my laptop

    But closing the lid with a small amount of force allows the laptop to sleep

    And when I boot it up in safe mode closing the lid hibernates the laptop

    Any suggestions???

    Thanks in advance

    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.

    Laptop not sleeping when lid is closed and plugged in

    Thanks, but nothing has helped.

    But i have made some interesting observations.

    When my laptop is running on battery and has been off the charger for a while and i sleep by closing the lid, it usually doesn't work and the fan still runs

    But when I close the lid with a bit more force it recognizes and goes into sleep state

    It doesn't work when its plugged in and pressing the power button doesn't make it sleep either.

    I tried hibernating using the start menu but the fan remains on and i have to hard shut down every time

    Any suggestions???

    Thanks in advance
