This mode is available on newer hardware and allows to put it in a less power consuming mode while disabling some of the internal devices in a way very similar to how smart-phones and tablets do. On my laptop the problem turned out to be in InstantGo mode (formerly named as Connected Standby). Please, keep it in mind and proceed at your own risk! Caveat Lector.Īfter some research, I found a solution.
Moreover, this kind of problems might be a result of failing hardware or buggy drivers. Otherwise, feel free to continue, but remember that as Windows-powered hardware is diverse and it is impossible to provide a fix which would work reliably for anyone. If you haven't encountered any problems with sleep mode on your hardware - this article is not for you. Probably I have a solution for you worth investigating. If you have newer hardware and ever encountered the issues when your Windows-based laptop will not go into sleep mode or will not wake up reliably, or you would put your laptop into sleep mode only to find two hours later that it is active and hot in your backpack - please, continue reading. The fix was rather illogical and it is impossible to accomplish via settings in the graphical user interface tools provided by the Windows operating systems. Sleep mode is an important feature for me, so this state of affairs was not acceptable.
I read somewhere that I can allow sleep mode by changing something related to the BIOS? This sounds complicated.Recently I have encountered a problem while using a new laptop - sleep mode did not work reliably. In addition to finding no mention of sleep mode anywhere on my computer, I'm now unable to change the screen brightness by any means. Under the display adapter Device status it reads "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. I've noticed, however, that in the Device Manager, the symbol next to the Intel(R) HD Graphics Family has a little exclamation point in a yellow triangle. Unfortunately, this hasn't changed anything. In the Sleep and Power Settings, the only options available for me to choose for when I close the laptop lid are "Do Nothing," "Hibernate," and "Shut Down."įollowing recommendations for similar issues, I updated the driver for my display adapter. After updating, it now goes into hibernation mode when I close the lid. I used to be able to close the lid and the computer would enter sleep mode, and come out of it when I opened the lid. A few days ago I updated my HP Envy laptop from Windows 8 to Windows 10.
