10.11.3 updated computer won't sleep now

MacBkPro will be not not to go sleep ever (not with menu or keyboard commands or the cover.)  Energy saver prefs checked and they are always the same settings as before the update.

Was suggested to me that the SCM needs to be reset.  This is usually a last ditch thing.

Is there anything else I could check before resorting to a SMC reset?

Hello Tom,

For me 10.11.3 broken sleep when the lid is closed, but I can still use the menu to sleep.

You have hopefully solve this?

  • Computer won't sleep

    My computer won't go to sleep at home. On the road, it does exactly what I want - after 5 minutes, he made a screensaver of my photos for 30 min, then falls asleep. Home, that she won't, the screen stays on the home screen forever.  Help!

    I venture a guess that it is running on battery, on the road and connected to the House. You can define things upwards so that the computer handles things like the "sleep mode", etc., differently depending on whether or not it works on battery.

    The first thing you should do is, make sure that your power settings are the way you want.
    To do this:

    Place your mouse over the the battery icon on the taskbar and right click.

    Select "Power Options".

    (You can also access power options through the control panel: start > Control Panel > system and Maintenance > Power Options.)

    According to the plan used on your computer, click on "Change Plan settings".

    As you can see, there are two different columns of parameters here, one battery and one for hip. Make sure that the settings for each column are defined as you wish.
    You can access more advanced options by clicking on the 'change power avancΘs' link. Go through the list of parameters available with care, make adjustments if necessary. Click ok.

    Click "Save".

  • Why my 64-bit Windows 7 computer won't sleep without me having to stop it?

    When I'm done for the day with my computer, I click on the power button that is preparing to sleep. Recently, I noticed when I wake my computer is also awake. Since then, I learned from my granddaughter that he wakes up around midnight. She also told me that another that wake up in itself nothing else produced, no program starts, no change of the screen, nothing he just wakes up. Please help me solve this puzzle. I am running Windows 7 64 bit which is an upgrade of Windows Vista 32-bit, and yes I have updated all the components for my computer 64-bit ready. I love Windows 7, but since I installed it my computer became little glitchy if it is a legitimate Word. But nothing for it, is as annoying as this revival on its own.

    Have you visited your site of PC makers, so great oem for example Dell / HP or laptop and check the updated drivers specific to your model, and if a win7 PC generic your motherboard manufacturers website?

    Have you also checked the schedular task to see if there are active tasks for this time?

    Update for Windows Vista (KB2345886)

    I found KB981957 to be the culprit on that I worked on a system of XP SP3.  With this update installed, I get an error C000021A Service Control Manager BSOD.  I have manually uninstalled this update by using the Recovery Console and then used Windows Update through IE and deselected this update.  All the other updates installed correctly and the system starts properly.  I would like to know why this update is causing this problem.  Anyone with the same problem?

    It reminds me of a similar situation earlier this year with BSOD KB991765.  The cause of the BSOD is a virus that has infected system driver files.  Once clean, the installation worked very well.  I've done many scans on this system and have not yet found any viruses.

  • HP 2311 x monitor won't sleep

    I have my system my computer Setup will put my monitor to sleep after 10 minutes if the computer is idle.  The problem is that my monitor will not fall asleep.  It shows the system status menu, scan for input device, said so he'll sleep, power light goes Orange and a few seconds later he wakes. Then start the whole process again and again.  If I put the system to sleep monitor goes to sleep (didn't at first when I got until I updated the driver of HP).  I connected it to the DVI plug.

    It seems that I found my own solution and I'm posting so it can help others.  Although my computer is about 3 1/5 years it has a DVI and VGA connections for the monitor.  The HP2311x monitor has DVI, VGA and HDMI connections.  I got the screen hooked up using the DVI connection.

    I changed and hooked it up to the VGA connection.  Set the computer up so the monitor going to sleep in a minute and waited.  Monitor went to sleep and not wake up until I moved the mouse.  Tested several times more and no problem.  So apparently there's something with connections DVI monitor won't sleep when you use this connection.

  • Fallout 3 stops working after the computer wakes from sleep

    Since the games for Windows Live 3 is out, Fallout 3 has never been the same. He used to work at best my GfWL and now her nightmare. Recently, after that I quit the game and put my computer to sleep, Fallout 3 will stop working completely after wake up. I try to start it and I get them all is a cursor with a small blue rotating light. What is even more strange, is that my computer goes into a State of semi who no longer meet this point where programs and keyboard shortcuts no longer work, but I can browse my hard drive. I try control + SHIFT + ESC to see what the devil but that causes Windows Explorer to stop working. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work either. No matter what I try, once I start Fallout 3 after the computer wakes from sleep, I can't do the task to the top manager and I can't use my computer. The only way to get it is to hit the reset button or turn off manually. Can someone please help to get rid of this problem?

    Hi murphy449,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. the problem only happens when you start fallout 3 after the sleep mode?

    3. are you able to wake the computer quits successfully sleep mode?

    4. What is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you manually download and install the latest drivers for display on the computer card and check if it works.

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that you try the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • P6 - 2303a won't sleep

    Hello, I have a Pavilion p6 - 2303a running Windos 8.  The computer go to sleep if I press the sleep button, but will not sleep when idle. The screen turns off, but the computer continues to operate. I checked all my advanced power settings, Windows Update, HP system, all the drivers and the antivirus, I have completely removed Norton, disabled the network drivers and spent hours trying various online solutions.  Could you please let me know if there is anything I am missing.  It makes me crazy.

    Thank you

    Thanks for your reply.  I've tried these methods, does not.

    I have narrowed down through a startup msconfig selective.  It seems that it was the process of windows Security Center that prevented from sleeping.  If I turn this off, he'll sleep as it is supposed to.

    Hi GeorgeFrey,

    It appears from the description of the problem, the computer stops using 'sleep'. I understand the inconvenience.

    This problem may occur because of the wireless adapter.

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the wireless network card drivers and check if it helps. Download the latest version of the drivers on the computer manufacturer website.

    For more information, see the links below:
