Windows 7 Fixing Password Prompt Delay on Wake from Sleep for HP Laptop Running Windows 7

[greg2725d]

So this is a really small problem but its been bugging me for some time now. I have a HP laptop with windows 7 on it. Now i travel allot to and from school. when i do i just put it to sleep instead of shutting it down. I have a password on the computer so other people dont get on. When the pc wakes up it asks for password and there's the blinking cursor in the box but it wont let me type it in until i click in the password box. It doesnt do this when i restart, only when it wakes from sleep. basically i want to be able to open the lid and be able to type the password as soon as it pops up. instead i've got to find the mouse and click on the password box.

I know this is a stupid problem but after a few months of this and many different installs of windows 7 it does get allitle annoying. lol. I was thinking maybe a reg. key or something. havent done too much digging into it yet. wanted to see if anyone have had this issue already and took care of it.

It sounds like you're experiencing an inconvenience with the login process on your HP laptop running Windows 7 when waking up from sleep mode. The issue where you can't type in the password until you click inside the password box is a common problem with Windows laptops. Here's a solution you can try to resolve this issue by adjusting the power settings: 1. Open Power Options: - Go to the Control Panel. - Look for Power Options. 2. Change Plan Settings: - Click on "Change plan settings" next to your selected power plan. 3. Change Advanced Power Settings: - Look for "Change advanced power settings" link. 4. Navigate to Sleep Settings: - Look for the "Sleep" heading and expand it. - Find the setting for "Allow hybrid sleep" and set it to "Off." 5. Apply Changes: - Save these settings and exit. After adjusting these settings, try putting your laptop to sleep and wake it up to see if the issue persists. This method may help in resolving the problem of not being able to input your password immediately upon waking the laptop from sleep mode. If this doesn't work, you might need to dig into the registry keys or consider other tweaks to the power settings. Let me know if this solves your issue or if you need further assistance!
