[SOLVED] Windows 10 does not come out of Sleep Mode

[luzhun]

Upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. It goes into Sleep mode fine but anytime push a key to come back out of it.. it does nothing and has to be reset. Also it stops loading windows upon the first reset (the circles stop moving when says Loading Windows) then just stays on that screen which requires the reset button to be hit a second time.. finally moving past the loading circles to get to the desktop each time..

I downloaded the latest BIOS version which is a .cab file but trying to update it, says that the cab file cannot be read. Let me know if you need anymore information. Thanks for the help!

Check your control panel settings to see if your keyboard/mouse is enabled to wake your computer from sleep.

Is this a laptop or desktop? What are your full hardware specifications?

First thing to try is disabling hibernation, as that is the MOST common problem when troubles arise trying to resume from sleep or restart using Windows 10. ESPECIALLY after an upgrade.

To Disable Hibernation:

1. The first step is to run the command prompt as administrator. In Windows 10, right click on the start menu and click "Command Prompt (Admin)".
2. Type in "powercfg.exe /h off" without the quotes and press enter.
3. Exit the command prompt.
4. Hibernation is now disabled.

It would be HIGHLY recommended that now that you have already done the upgrade, you simply bite the bullet (Due to having to reinstall programs and reconfigure settings and preferences afterwards) and do a clean install. Upgrades to Windows 10 are rarely successful long term solutions, especially if there were already ANY sort of problems on the previous OS installation, but in many cases, even if there weren't.

As far as the BIOS is concerned, you'll likely need to do that in the BIOS, unless this is a laptop with specific instructions to do it from within Windows. We can address that further once we know the motherboard model number.
