Windows 10: Word opens every time my computer wakes from sleep.

I don't think it starts on boot, just when it wakes up. It's not in any startup lists, in settings or task manager at least, I've probably checked elsewhere though. It's really weird, I can't seem to find any setting in Word itself, and Google isn't helping me. I don't recall it happening before I installed Windows 11, I just know that that's about when it started. Are there any other details that might be useful?Edition Windows 11 HomeVersion 21H2Installed on ‎7/‎16/‎2021OS build 22000.194Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.194.0

Computer takes time to wake up from sleep

Hi Tanay,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that the laptop takes time to wake up the screen after waking up from sleep mode.



Ideally, if there are multiple processes running in the background the computer will take some time to wake up from sleep. However, you may want to try changing few settings on the computer and see if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type control and click on
   OK.
   
3. Select Large icons from the drop down for
   View by.
   
4. Click on Power Options.
   
5. Click on Choose what the power buttons do, and click
   Change settings that are currently unavailable.
   
6. Select the checkbox for Turn on fast startup.
   
7. Click Save changes

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.

 

computer wake-up after sleep

Hi Bill,

There's a possibility that the settings that enables your Space bar to wake your computer up from sleep was reset after updating Windows. If this what had happened, we suggest that you just re-set it up. See the steps below on how to do
so:

• Press Windows key and type keyboard in.
• Click on Keyboard option and a pop-up windows should show up.
• From there, go to > Hardware tab > Properties >
  Change settings > Power management > Allow this device to wake the computer >
  OK/Apply.

Try the if the steps did work and let us know any updates.
