• Laptop will not go to sleep when the lid is closed

  Separated from this thread.

  Same problem here. My settings say that my Toshiba will sleep when the lid is closed, but half the time is not asleep and I can feel it's hot and turns on the fan. I am so frustrated with this new laptop and Windows 8.1. Looks like too many bugs in the software or something. More I am working on the new laptop the more problems that I find, like screen discoloration as well. The forums are useless. I do what they say, and the problem is the same. Forget the call from Toshiba. Needless. Nobody will help unless you pay them money to subscribe. What customer service?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your concern here at the Microsoft Community forum. Let me help you with your concern.

  This problem may occur because of any change in power on your laptop options. If the default is set to hibernation and standby modes, your laptop goes to sleep when you close the lid, but then the Hibernate timer comes in and wake up your computer first and trying to Hibernate. He cannot go to Hibernate directly from mode 'sleep'. Go into the power settings and either disable hibernation or set the timer on a higher value.

  To apply the same setting to all plans:

  1. Open Power Options by pressing the Windows key + X, clicking Control Panel, click system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
  2. On the Select a power plan page, click choose the cover.
  3. On the page define power buttons and turn on password protection , next to when I close the lid, choose what you want your laptop to do, both when it is running on battery and when it's plugged in.
  4. Click on save changes.

  Tip: To save battery power and quickly resume working, select sleep. Sleep is a power saving state that allows a computer quickly resume the operation of full power (usually in seconds) when you want to start working again.

  To apply a setting to a specific regime:

  1. Open Power Options by pressing the Windows key + X, clicking Control Panel, click system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
  2. On the Select a power plan page, click change plan settings for the plan you want to change.
  3. On the change settings for the plan page, click change advanced power settings.
  4. Advanced settings tab, expand it cover and the Power button, action lid, choose what you want your mobile PC to do when you close the lid, for when it runs on battery and when it is plugged in, and then click OK.

  I hope this helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you.

• I can do: sleep when the lid is closed, EXCEPT when an external display is connected?

  Hello

  Please let me know if this is possible. Seems to me like a current need, but I can't find a way to achieve this.

  I wish that the laptop to sleep when I close the lid (battery / plugged - matter), except when I have a connected external display.

  The script is very simple, I prefer to work with an external display, so I don't want or need the lid is open. When I'm on the road, the "sleep when the lid is closed" is a desired behavior.

  Is this possible?

  Thank you

  Roee.

  (1) this function is available in the Apple OS, but not in OS Win.

  (2) but, you can set a custom power plan to do this, so when you connect an external monitor just switch the power around plan. It is the easiest way to get what you want.

• Laptop Dell Studio 1555 w / Vista does not wake from sleep when the lid is open.

  I have a laptop Dell Studio 1555 with Vista Premium 64-bit. Until last night, the laptop would run mode standby when I closed the lid and woke up when I opened the cover later. Yesterday I was downloading photos from a Canon camera via USB. I close the lid when I did. When I went to open the cover later the laptop screen remained in black and white. The power button is lit, but the only way I can get to meet is to hold the power button until it turns off completely, and then restart the laptop. A difference when the lid is closed, I think the power button will blink and turn off slowly while he was really in sleep. He remains on all the time now when the lid is closed. I tried to go into power management and put the laptop from sliding when the lid is closed, but has not made a difference.

• Yoga 260 do not SLEEP when the lid is closed

  Hello

  Sometimes when I close the lid off my Yoga 260 Windows 10 do not go to sleep.

  The behavior is really weird because the red light on the cover flashes like when it is in "standby", but I can hear the rotating fan.

  When I open the cover, it's even more bizarre. Windows are not locked and I am not asking for a password. The whole system is very laggy. The mouse moves in jumps, and there is not any response to keyboard or touchscreen. After a few seconds/minutes, the system is suddenly OK as nothing happened.

  Is not happening all the time and I wasn't able to see any model, when this happens.

  What should I do to get rid of this?

  Thx for the help.

  I tried to disable the special function of Lenovo for rapid reactivation in 15 seconds after closing the lid and it seems to be OK now.

• How to ensure the backup of Windows 7 starts and runs until the end on a laptop which is mode standby, or could be put in mode 'sleep' when the lid is closed.

  Hello

  Many of us with laptops with Windows 7 would like to ensure that, when a Windows backup is scheduled, it starts successfully and goes to full completion, regardless of whether the phone is first 'sleep', or if the user of the laptop close the lid of the laptop, which would normally the laptop mode 'sleep'.  In other words, how to backup Windows or Windows 7 be configured to wake from mode "sleep" and prevent it from sleep mode, when a backup is scheduled and actively running?

  I saw a way to schedule a task that will wake the computer, but I'm looking for something more intelligent than that.  I'm looking to see if Microsoft has already thought this through and allow you to pre-configure operating system such as we have no additional installation software.

  Thank you

• Re: How to prevent shutdown when closing lid Satellite A35-S159?

  I just inherited a Toshiba Satellite A35 - s159.I am running XP.

  When I close the lid, Windows stops.
  I like to keep things on, to be able to receive the updates and downloads.
  I see nothing in the 'control panel' to allow me to do.

  In Control Panel, there is "Toshiba power settings" but I seem not to be able to find a way to change a setting in there to keep things running with the lid closed.

  I see a PIN on the display cover that comes in contact with a switch when it is closed, then the computer shuts down.

  Someone at - it take this component out of sharpening? Is this the only solution?

  Hello

  You may disable this option in the settings of Toshiba Power Saver!
  This is without any doubt.

  I put t know what Toshiba Power Saver you but my Power Saver contains two tabs:
  Basic configuration and installation Actions.

  The Actions of the installer tab contains options and then I find the parameter called when I close the lid.
  I put this setting to no action.

  Now, I can close the lid and the laptop would still go and wouldn t stop or go in the booth of fashion.

• Laptop screen turns off but the system never sleeps when closed.

  Hello!

  I have a laptop Alienware M14x and quite frequently when I close my laptop, the screen turns off but the system will not. When I reopen it, the screen stays off and the system seems still to go but no matter what I press on, the screen does not turn. To fix it, I just turn it off power then back on the power button. I know that my laptop is still running because the fans are still running and the lights on the front and on the keyboard are lit. I don't know if this is a problem common or not, but it's really annoying.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated! If there are other details that might help, do not hesitate to ask!

  Thank you!

  -S.

  Firstly I find a windows command can tell you if you have something that prevents the mode 'sleep'. Run as administrator command window and use the command: powercfg-query.

  If you have my problem and SRVNET is active, you will see this:

  SYSTEM:
  [DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet
  An active remote client recently sent requests for this machine.

  2. to add SRVNET to the exempt list, do the following at the command prompt (EXACTLY as shown below.)  DRIVER MUST be written in capital letters):

  powercfg - requestsoverride DRIVER '\FileSystem\srvnet' system Awaymode

  and for good measure (not sure if necessary but I did anyway)...
  
  powercfg - requestsoverride DRIVER "srvnet' system Awaymode

  3. once all is said and done, it should look like this after you run:

  powercfg - requestsoverride

  [DRIVER]
  \FileSystem\srvnet SYSTEM AWAYMODE
  srvnet SYSTEM AWAYMODE

  4 enjoy again the "sleep mode".

• Dv6 7000: charging does that when the lid is closed (sleep mode)

  I have a laptop HP DV6 7000. The battery doesn't work that when the lid is closed (sleep mode).

  If I close the lid and plug in the charger, the light indicates orange and the battery will deliver to load almost full.

  If I open the lid before the orange light changing to white, battery icon always says: _ % available (plugged in, does not support).

  Several different Chargers give identical results. EACH of them is fully charge the battery in two hours; as long as the cover is closed. If I open the lid, even to say 50% load, the orange light glows white and the battery icon always says: _ % available (plugged in, does not support).

  Thank you, Ed.

• T500 09F BSOD when the lid is closed or go into sleep

  Very annoying problem that I do not know the solution. This is actually my second T500 with the same problem. Now, I really need help.

  It is implemented with win7 64-bit. When closing the cover, either by pressing the FN button + sleep it is said "shutting down", and remains in this State for several minutes before showing a BSOD and reboot. It just do not cut off or go to sleep. I have to press the power button for 4 seconds to descend.

  It has the latest version of the BIOS. And I try to keep drivers up to date. I find the minidump files after each reboot BSOD. What should I look for an answer?

  Dr.

  In fact, I discovered what was wrong. All my problems with three different configurations of T500 was caused by a Western Digital world edition network harddrive on my home LAN. Googling this problem led me on the WD forum, where many had had the same problems. I have Remi ed drive hard and after that... No problem at all. WD, get yourself...
