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

Dave

  • 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).

    Hi @ElyMayor

    Thank you for your response.

    The last thing I can suggest to try a restore to factory.  Performing a recovery of system HP (Windows 7)

    While the recovery, there is an option to backup your personal files. If you have not already done so, it is now a good time.

    Restore files that have been supported to the top using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7)

    Alternatively, you can contact HP support for assistance. They can access your system remotely to help alleviate the difficulties.

  • Satellite don't wake up from sleep or hibernation when the lid is closed

    It is a problem that I had with my laptop from the outset - if the laptop is in sleep or Hibernate mode and the lid is closed, or the lid is closed and will switch "standby" from there, it won't wake up or respond to the switch once again opened.

    Even holding down the power button has no effect, the only way to turn it back on is to remove the battery, put it back and turn the phone back on, lose anything I had opened.

    I fear that the laptop could be damaged by this, but there is no other way.
    This isn't a problem with the settings of windows, I had the same problem with the function suspends in ubuntu.

    Anyone had similar problems or know anything than either could have caused this?

    What model of Satellite L do you have exactly?
    What system is pre-installed? Have you tested this problem with laptop recovery fees?

    BIOS is up to date? If it is not updated in the BIOS.
    After update BIOS, set the default BIOS and test the features of the laptop.

    Your comments would be appreciated

  • Satellite L10-187 wakes up when the lid is closed

    I got this Toshiba Satellite L10-187 for a few years now, and since I bought it I had problems with it to wake up even if the lid is closed.
    Suspended or hibernation is not serious, he always wakes.

    More annoying is when I have it in my backpack and I noticed that the battery has been drained, when I want to use the computer.

    Is this a known issue?

    Hello

    L10 is old enough laptop model and if you noticed from the first day, I wonder why you waited so long time and didn't search for solution before. In any case, enter the BIOS settings and disable Wake up on LAN option. As far as I know wake up the system can also be result of active Windows update Service. Disable it.

    Please disable both options and report us what happens now.

    I can't say much on battery. Just a question: is the battery just when the laptop is in sleep/hibernation mode or this will happen even if the laptop is turned OFF?

    Hello

    As far as I know the laptop to stand mode when the lid is closed!
    Please check your settings in Vista power options and turn off the lid closing option.

    In addition, I would recommend updating the BIOS and the driver of graphics if a newer version is available on the European driver Toshiba page.

    I have a samsung R505 running vista. Now, I chose to connect it to my TV with an HDMI cable.

  • Dell XPS 13 lights up once the lid is closed and put to sleep

    I have a strange problem. I noticed that when I close my XPS 13, it stops (as indicated by the boring before LED) but then later it will start up while it is transported. Sometimes I'll get home, get out of the computer case, and it will be as hot as a heat missile because it worked.

    I don't know why it would boot only randomly like that? I have power options 'sleep' when the lid is closed, as shown here: http://i.imgur.com/p0x1C86.png.

    I don't think I have malware because I reset my computer to factory several times and scanned with SpyBot and Windows Defender settings.

    In the Bios "Wake on LAN" is disabled.

    For the life of me I don't see what would be the trigger that the NSA (just kidding). It happens to someone else? Did you find a solution for this? Was it a dell program? Or is there a defective piece of hardware on this computer?

    Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks :)

    I could solve this problem by installing a clean version of Windows 10. I have an MSDN account so I downloaded the ISO from there and everything removed from the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 10. The only problem I encountered is that I wasn't able to install UEFI mode. After you have installed all the drivers for Dell, laptop can accommodate properly and autonomy is great. There must be a problem with software that installs Dell with Windows that is the cause of the sleep problem.

    I formatted my hard drive and xp wouldn't charge b/c he didn't see the hard drive. I then installed Windows 7 starter and cannot be upgraded. .

    Probably, you need to boot in the BIOS of the computer and changed on the hard drive in IDE mode, SATA, so it can be recognized by Windows XP.

    Before that you plan to replace Windows 7 with Windows XP. Have you tried to familiarize yourself with the operating system first?

    If you want to run Windows XP, you can consider to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP. You first need to know if your computer is compatible with Windows XP. Much more modern computers are gradually support for Windows XP.

  • 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.

  • T410 connection when the lid is closed

    I am portable computers T410 deployment to the field, but users report the network connection drops when they close the lid.  I checked that the PC is not in standby mode.  I have the settings of Thinkvantage Power Manager to do nothing when the lid is closed and allowed InstantResume to stay online for the max of 99 minutes, but which is not helping.  I still adjusted power profile settings to not go to sleep for an hour while on battery.  Laptops running Windows XP Pro x 86.  Any help would be appreciated.

    It turns out that the issue was a question of power settings.  Disabling the sleep settings and disabling sleep by closing the lid solves this problem.

  • Inspiron 15R (5537) wake from its slumber when the lid is closed through the usb keyboard/mouse

    I have an Inspiron 15R (5537) which has all the latest drivers from Dell BIOS A01 Reference (Windows 8). I have the options of closing the lid set to "do nothing" for the two battery and plugged in, but no matter what I try, when the lid is closed I can't the laptop to wake up via USB keyboard or mouse.
    The keyboard and mouse have the wake-up option enabled in the settings of their material.  I also wake up from USB enabled in the BIOS.
    What is interesting, is that if I put the computer to sleep with the lid open, I can wake him up from the keyboard or the mouse.  But with the lid closed, the only way to wake up, it should open the cover and press the power button.
    Anyone know a solution to this?
    Summary:
    Cover open: CAN wake from USB keyboard/mouse.
    Cover closed: don't wake up if I open the lid and press the power button.

    Pete,

    Depending on where you live, you will have the rights of consumers.  I live in Australia and we have pretty good consumer protection.

    I asked Dell - repair, replace it with one that works, or pay back me.

    They went away for a few weeks, and when I "called home" a few times, they acknowledged that they could not solve the problem and offered me a full refund. The laptop was picked up yesterday and I expect the refund within about five days. The guy on my "case" has been very professional!

    I guess that you informed Dell FORMALLY of the problem via a support ticket?

    I did that and followed by chat and phone calls.

    Whist, the ability to wake up via USB is not explicitly described in any of their literature, the bios has available and W8.1 has the facility.  they built it all - EXCEPT that they forgot the lid...

    see you soon
