I have a Windows 8.1 system which does not display the "Put the computer to sleep" option. My goal is to set this system to never sleep so it continues to run when unattended.
This is one of four Win8.1 VMs, three of which display normal Power Option settings, while this one does not. On this...

Well basically what happened was, I put the computer to sleep using the FN+F8 keys on the keyboard (Logitech MK320 Wireless). About maybe an hour or an hour an a half, I clicked the space bar, it woke up, and I put in the password. It quickly logged in, and as...

I have a wired USB keyboard and a wireless USB mouse on my computer. I have set the Power Options for sleep mode under Windows 8.1 to occur after a certain amount of time. When I have returned to my computer when it is in Sleep mode after a particularly long period of time both the keyboard and...
This guide covers some basic troubleshooting if you're trying to configure your computer to go to sleep and it just won't. Obviously the first thing you want to check is that you have correctly setup sleep. With a laptop you will want to make sure you configure both DC and AC power settings...

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 I have used the 'Sleep' mode successfully on a daily basis and it has always worked - which was not the case on my Windows 7 installation!
Yesterday, I installed KB3124262 (Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1511) together with an Intel Driver update...

I generally access my PC multiple times throughout the day, so I like to Lock it or put it in Sleep mode. On occasion, the Windows Explorer (if its still called that) does not function after I awaken or unlock my PC. Neither clicking on the button nor pressing the Windows key does anything. I...
Recently did an upgrade to Windows 10. I had a couple of problems along the way, but nothing that I couldn't work around, and the end result was what should have been a fairly clean Windows install, settings but no applications retained.
Then, I noticed that when I select shutdown, it will...

First problem is not always apparent as it randomly happens whenever it decides to happen & its always my mouse. When I turn my system on from cold boot, my mouse isn't working & from the looks of it because its a wired mouse no power. Only fix is to unplug & connect it back in again for it to...
Lately, when I play any kind of audio, it will slow down and start crackling. When I reboot, it goes away....for a while. It seems like when it sleeps, it gets this problem. I tried to update the driver, but my computer said it was up to date. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone know what...
Hi,
When I choose to either shut down, restart or put my laptop to sleep through the Windows 8.1 start menu, usually everything is okay and the process works, however sometimes (I'd say one attempt on four), the computer is stuck with the screen turned off but the fan still turned on!
In this...

For the past 2 weeks (approximately), when I click "Shut Down" on my Win 8 laptop, nothing happens. If I click "Sleep," it goes to sleep right away, but it will not shut down. I see by the forum posts that my problem isn't unique. I have tried all three methods described in the post...
