Hey there,
Recently I've been having problems after waking my laptop up from sleep -- I think it tries to shut down instead, because upon waking up it sometimes gives me the "Waiting for programs to close" screen, which I can then press cancel and continue using it normally.
This causes a major problem, though; when this happens, it won't ask for a password on waking up, it'll just jump right into whatever I was doing before. If I put it into sleep mode again, it still won't ask for a password, and I have to restart the computer to get it to do so. I'm 100% sure the option for this is selected and everything, even after this happens, it refuses to doesn't ask for one.
In addition, pressing the shut down button in the Start Menu does nothing after this happens, I have to actually hold the power button down.
Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks.
