PC will not wake properly from sleep since updates

[spschillerstrom]

About a week ago, I presume after a Windows update, my PC does not wake form sleep. Sometimes it wakes but my mouse buttons don't work and when I tab over to power and reset it goes to a loading screen indefinitely until I force power off with the button on my case. I have had Windows 10 since it's full release and have not had any issues with waking until last week.

I installed a new hard drive (just for game storage) about a month ago. Besides that there have been no other hardware changes in my system.

After some searching I haven't found people experiencing the same thing recently so I don't think its a wide spread issue.

Any advice to help troubleshoot the issue would be appreciated.

Thank You.

Hi,

Here are some troubleshooting steps that may help in solving the issue.
- Start by changing the Power Options settings.
- Open Power Options and click on Change plan settings then Change advanced power settings on the next screen.
- Expand Hard disk first then set Turn off hard disk after to Never.
- Expand Sleep and set Allow hyrbid sleep to OFF and set Hibernate after to NEVER.
- Click Apply and OK.
- Do open Device Manager next and set your keyboard and Mouse to wake up your PC.
- In Device Manager right click on Mouse/Keyboard and select Power Management.
- Make sure there's a check on Allow this device to wake the computer and click OK.
- Do test your PC again after doing all these changes.

Thanks, I went through and did everything you suggested. I will report back once I've let it sleep a few times.
