• ENVY 17: Laptop wakes from sleep several times during the day

  My laptop did this during the last two weeks.

  When I put on standby, he wakes up after a couple hours stay on for a few minutes and go back to sleep. This process is repeated again and again. In the event logs, the wake-up source is unkonow. There is no wake timers activated, and no device is allowed to wake the computer.

  After many expenses hours working on this and read almost everything done online, I'm stuck. How should I proceed?

  Solved.

  There was a problem with the fast start-up of Intel who woke up my comuter. The solution was to disable it.

• Laptop will not sleep by itself after windows 8.1 upgrade

  HP envy 1125dx m6 model.

  Windows 8.1 by the store of windows update.

  Everything looks good in Device Manager.

  Laptop is plugged into the power saver plan.

  Configured to turn off the display for 1 minute, sleep 2 minutes.

  The computer screen turns off, as planned, but never sleeps.

  It worked until the eve of the victory 8.1 update. I use the laptop, go to lunch/dinner and find the laptop power button flashes as he sleeps.

  Used hp cat, the tech told me to disable the complaint hid wireless option in the Device Manager, also update the video card driver, but it didn't work.

  On mine I have updated the software of the chipset intel but it didn't work either. Don't know what else to do.

  Is there a log of events somewhere that shows what happens when the sleep should be raised?

  tried the following:

  leave the homegroup

  powercfg /requestsoverride srvnet system driver

  powercfg /requests shows nothing

  powercfg /devicequery wake_armed shows nothing

  still does not work

  EDIT: leave the homegroup is the solution, just be patient, the machine takes a few minutes to sleep after the scheduled time.

• Often fingerprint reader stops working after laptop wakes from sleep (Pavilion dv6)

  I am convinced that the fingerprint reader is fine. There must be a problem with the driver may, something inconsistent with a recent update of the Windows 7 software?

  The scenario:

  • Laptop works very well.  I put on standby when I'm done and use the mousepad to wake him up.  LED fingerprint reader blinks, and I can drag my finger to log on.
  • At one point, after a few times to put the laptop to sleep and wake, the fingerprint reader does not.  No flashing.  I slide my finger and the player does not respond at all - is not yet tell me that there was a bad reading.
  • If I login and log back in again, no change. However, if I do a reboot, everything is fine - the fingerprint reader works again.

  I watched over and over again for new drivers and installed.  Nothing seems to affect this scenario.   Unfortunately, this has started to happen about 9 months ago () and because of the sporadic nature of it, I was not attentive enough to know the 'precise' point in time when it started happening.  My instincts tell me that there was some sort of update software/driver along the way which is originally the fingerprint reader not do not work right.  I hope HP continues a relationship with these companies to fingerprint reader and can transmit these questions so that we can do a software update.  But... I don't know if it has been abandoned.  My laptop is still under warranty, but it would be ridiculous to send in just this problem.

  I hope that someone has heard of this on the dv6 and may know a solution.  Thank you!

  My system is a HP dv6-6145dx.  I am running Windows 7, with the latest updates.  The integrated fingerprint reader works on HP Simple pass 2011 v5.1 and Validity Sensor driver 4.3.205.0 version.  When I try to launch the Simple passage interface, it loads the database, but then the application disappears.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software, but makes no difference with the issue, I noted.

  "If you keep an open mind, life will give you more opportunities."

  No problem, I am completely I shouldn't bother with Pass Simple version 8.  I advanced and installed version 6.  I did not yet get no joy, so I did a little more digging and found one more late Validity Sensor driver, version 4.3.304 (not noted in the list of update driver for my laptop model).  IT WORKED.  I can now go into hibernation and the fingerprint reader remains functional when the system is out of hibernation.  Previously, it was pretty much guaranteed became disabled.  So... it looks that my problem is now solved.

• Laptop did not sleep properly and I disliked stuffed in the laptop bag

  This morning, I closed the lid on my laptop, the icon of sleep on the hinge is come, put the laptop in my bag, put it in the trunk of the car and went to work. Twenty minutes later, I get to work and get my purse. The bag was very hot! And when I opened spilled and touched at the end of the laptop, it was even hotter. To the point where it felt good to the touch.

  The end of the exhaust fan was to the end top of the bag and is the end that I was touching. The fan was going at full speed.

  I brought in the office, he opened and there was a BACK screen that lists all the devices boot available and fairly well said that nothing was available. I hit enter and it cycled through a few screens back, but basically he didn't do anything. Then, a hard close and cool how far it was comfortable to the touch. In reverse and was able to get into Windows fine. The battery is fully charged when I left the House, but had fallen to 40 percent. At the time wherever I woke up PC Wizard, the internal time had fallen back to normal.

  Got my W500 a week ago. Wiped Vista Ultimate and replaced with Windows 7. Essentially, what I need to work works very well. Always have a few devices that probably are not completely configured correctly. I did this whole routine yesterday for the first time (to and from work) with no problems so I'm a bit confused what happened this time.

  Any thoughts? Anything else I should look for? I need to update the drivers? I see a couple of discussions about sleep problems, but have not confirmed anything on my end. Should what steps I take to ensure that the thing really did not sleep before sticking again in my bag?

  So far it seems OK, but I can't imagine what could have happened if I had the end fan at the bottom of the bag, it's in the afternoon and 100 degrees and if my drive was a little longer. I think it would have been messy.

  Thank you

  Matt

  Hello

  It is very probably no fault but just missing configuration. You must disable your laptop computer to wake from sleep.

  In Win7 it in Device Manager - click on properties (above all usb devices) of any device, go to the power management tab and disable "allow this device to wake the computer".

  Another good thing to set is in the power management in the "advanced power settings" of each plan. Here (sleep-> Allow wake timers) you can disable the timers that could wake the machine.

  Greetz!

• password not accepted after that laptop wakes from sleep

  When my laptop is on battery power and idle for a while, it goes into sleep mode. When I want to start working again, Windows does not accept my password. I need to change username, then click on my profile (which displays LOCKED) and only then Windows accept my password.

  After doing a search on the net, I see other Windows 7 users have the same problem...

  Hi Sean, the problem may be that the NumLock key is on in your profile.

  Try this.  Hit the key Windows and r and type regedit and click ok.  Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard and locate the InitialKeyboardIndicators value.  DoubleClick on it and change the value from 2 to 0.  Click ok and restart.

• My Satellite laptop refuses to boot

  Hello

  My laptop won't start, it won't let me even get into Safe Mode by pressing F8, I have to hold the power on button, but when I let go of the power light lights up for about a second, but then disappears.

  This happened after doing a restore of the system at startup, but then it didn't start after that.
  Any help?

  Your the thread topic confuses me.
  You have problems to start the laptop or with load operating system?

  Enter the BIOS, the default value and try again. If the same thing happens again I assume that you must reinstall OS.

  When you start with F8, you will enter advanced startup options. Figure option fix my computer in the list? If so use the menu options for system recovery. If you'll be able to do this test with repair start up or restoring the system again. Last option is the installation of the OS.

  You have created recovery disks?

• ZBook17: How can I keep my laptop switch mode 'sleep'

  How can I keep my computer to switch into mode 'sleep'. At the moment, the screen turns off in a minute about. I adjusted all the settings of power, but nothing seems to help.

  I regret that none of these steps seems to fix your problem, it's frustrating. Here are some more that you can try to see if the problem is resolved or changes in some way:

  1. Installation/update antivirus application and definitions, then run a virus in Windows scan check that no virus or malware
  2. Disabling hybrid sleep in Windows
  3. Disabling the requirement for password during the resumption of the mode standby
  4. Try a different power source

  Hi Alan,

  That's why I put t use these scanners driver or install driver updates. The most recent version is not always the best thing and the most important: never touch a running system!
