sleep mode

When I click on "Internet Access" Icon on the taskbar, I see a list of user names that I do not know. Does this mean these users are getting a free ride on my wifi? Also I find my laptop wakes up from sleep on its own and I wonder if its related to this issue?

After leaving the computer idle for some time, like overnight, I find the computer apparently awake (sleep light not on), with the hard drive light irregularly but dimly flashing, and no way to access it. Neither mouse clicks nor any key on the keyboard does anything, nor is there any apparent...

I have had this problem for some time. Don't remember if it was a problem with build 1803, but for sure since the beginning of build 1809. I have the screen turning off after 30 minutes, sleep after 60 minutes, and no hibernate. Yet about a third of the time it will not come out of sleep...

When I try to enter sleep mode the screen goes blank, the power light stays on solid for several minutes, then the welcome/sign on screen comes back on. If I sign on and then hit sleep again it works correctly - screen goes blank and power light flashing. Similar thing happens with shutdown -...

I have been a Windows Insider since very early in the program and am currently on build 17101. My installed Windows seems to have picked up a number of problems that I cannot get fixed: 1. Windows Mail is broken and I have tried various fixes provided by MS experts and it stays broken. 2...

Im currently running windows 10 home version. Ive been woken up god knows how many nights in a row now due to my computer waking itself from sleep mode for no apparent reason. After surfing through many websites looking for how to find the problem/solution, I discovered that the cause is the...

Hi folks, I'm having real trouble diagnosing a persistent blue screen problem. It started about a year ago after upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10. I initially did an upgrade install but have since performed numerous clean installs of win 10. It is a home built system. One of many I have...

I checked the BIOS and just the hard drive timeout is disabled. My power...

How can I put my current screen/monitor into sleep mode (e.g. after 2h) and NOT turn it off completely (after 2h) ? When I go to Control Panel--Hardware and Sound ---Power Options and switch for example to my currently active "Balanced" plan then I have the choice: what to do with...

Hi I have used this comb for 2 weeks and had to replace the batteries. I don't know if they were old or used . I was going to replace this combo but another person said he never turns the keyboard or mouse off and gets 6-9 months on one and a year on the other. I do not want a set that requires...

I've just updated my 64-bit Windows 10 system with the Anniversary Update. Everything seems to work OK (fortunately) apart from the Sleep Mode. I have an SSD for the Windows system disk / programs and an HDD for data storage. Previously, if you put the system in Sleep mode, everything stopped...

Whenever the computer gone into the sleep mode, it will never wake up again. Just got the white cursor and black screen. I tried the Win+P thing but didn't work. Also tried to turn off fast startup, still didn't work. Edited: Don't know what version of windows 10, just updated by itself few...

Hello. I have a HP Pro 608 tablet that has many bugs. 1. Most annoying is that the battery icon at the taskbar indicates that the tablet is always plugged. If I disconnect the power adapter, no change with the icon occurs plus there's no change in the screen brightness even if I set it to lower...

I have a three year old dell inspron desktop running updated windows 8.1 64bit. Suddenly NONE of the input devices are working. I've tried several different wireless mice, and I've tried both a wired and wireless keyboard. NOTHING. I've tried using different ports (both on the computer on on...

Hi I have my power settings set to the normal settings, monitor turns off after 15 minutes of inactivity, computer goes to sleep after one hour. But what I'm seeing is that my monitor goes black after a few minutes of inactivity. It doesn't shut off, the monitor is still on, but it stops...

The sleep mode on my computer doesn't work properly. I go to Start->Power->Sleep and the computer turns completely silent (like it should), but after a few minutes it begins making noise. Why? I have tried to turn off "hybrid sleep mode", but with no luck.

So for a while my computer would occasionally BSOD if I left it alone for too long (20-30 minutes), but inconsistently enough that it wasn't really an issue since I usually put it in sleep mode when I go somewhere anyways. Over the last week it's started doing it a lot more though, and starting...

I have been having this issue for a couple weeks and it's really frustrating. I have an Acer 591G laptop that came with Windows 10 already installed, i.e. I didn't upgrade from a previous version. I can tell you that this issue only started happening a couple weeks ago, after I bought and...

I have spent months trying to diagnose why a couple of my systems will not enter any power save states. Late last year i narrowed it down to the fact that i have several game controllers plugged in. When googling 'Windows 10 joystick sleep' i suddenly became aware i was not alone. It seems now...
