Question Sleep Option Disappeared

[dblee1950]

After months of having the sleep option on my windows 11 PC, it has disappeared. I have tried everything I know in the troubleshooting guides to no avail. Specifically, I have followed the fixes in this article, https://https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-10-fix-mising-sleep-option/ and nothing worked. Everything was ok until yesterday and it is gone. I looked at updates and it appears that Microsoft installed a driver update, OEM - HIDClass - 18.16.37.672 yesterday. Don't know if this is related or not. I have,
Device name DESKTOP-TGR256U
Processor AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX with Radeon Graphics 3.30 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.4 GB usable)
Device ID B2D185E7-B375-47D6-9EBE-7E1BC8D61486
Product ID 00331-20300-00000-AA034
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display
and windows version info:
Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 22H2
Installed on ‎5/‎17/‎2022
OS build 22621.160
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22632.1000.0
As an additional info item, one of my hdmi ports stopped working yesterday also. I'm trying to switch to a dp port once I get the cable to see if that takes care of the dual monitor issue. I have also reached out to manufacturer, Minisforum for advice/help.

It could be that update, its an ACPI power driver from 2015 (No idea why its pushing out an update from 2015 now)

what laptop is it?
Which chipset?
Should perhaps update chipset drivers as they might fix the power options.

OS build 22621.160

Insiders?

Its possibly a problem associated with the fact you on beta.
there is a new update - https://www.elevenforum.com/t/kb501...se-preview-build-22621-169-22h2-june-30.7420/

I think that update was the issue. I restored system prior to that date and everything came back, even my monitor problem corrected.

 

[Colif]

One advantage is system restore is meant to create a restore point before a patch/driver.
one disadvantage is the update might show up again. Was it an optional update or impossible to avoid?

 

[dblee1950]

It was optional as I recall. I don’t remember selecting it but must have with a few graphics others.

 

[Colif]

The optional ones are to fix problems. If you don't have any problems, don't grab them.
As you can tell, they can cause problems instead if you don't already have them.

All fixed now

Just checked and I don't think this is an optional update. It's on the main page when I go to windows update. I can't hide it either so will have to just ignore it for now.

Could ask about it on: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-insider-program/bd-p/WindowsInsiderProgram
I did a quick search of the site above and didn't find any mention of HIDClass apart from one post about a Surface device.

i can see mention of it in Dev build in June 1.

I don't know of a way to block 1 update, even in Pro. Might be... can pause them all for a few weeks if you want to though.
