• x 201 laptop computer won't go to sleep

  I have all my settings for the laptop goes to sleep when I close the lid.  But it is not at all... or she is about 3 seconds... then wakes up immediately to the top (without me touching the laptop at all).

  I have an external mouse which is configured not to wake up the computer, but I know that this isn't the culprit, because the computer is not even sleep if I remove the USB adapter.

  I solved it on my own.  Apparently, there are two places that you can set the properties of the mouse.  One of the control panel... material and his... mouse option and the other the "devices and printers" option

  If you uncheck the option box 'waking up' on the first option, the mouse will always wake the computer.  If the same option is chosen, the latest, it won't.

• Computer won't wake from sleep after installing the update July 2013

  Original title: a reason any after July 2013 windows update mode "sleep" freeze my computer

  Before I wake up problems due to incompatibility with windows 7 and SATA Hard drives (WD). This problem has been fixed with Windows Update August 2012.  Just recently after July 2013 Windows Update. After that my computer is in mode "sleep" for a certain time it freezes and will not restart until I press and hold the power button until the computer turns off. Then pressing the windows button star as a "Recovery Windows" message will appear.

  I blame the July 2013 Windows Update. But I can't be sure what it causing the problem... I cleaned the Reg via CC & norton util 16 more run antiwalware Malwarebytes and run a Norton virus check. the lock in question remains.

  Any ideas?

  Problem solved... I had added a USB 3.0 Hub to my system. Unfortunately I do not share this Yauqb, thinking that a USB problem would not cause the fault that the USB (connected devices to the) worked well, my lack of this info likely extended the solution time.

  Somehow that it finally dawned on me that look at the manufacturers site hub, of course nestled in the catacombs of the FAQ is a text of presentation all by unchecking the checkbox in the section of wake-up USB Device Manager.

  When you look in Device Manager, USB devices are not the easiest to deal with because there are many multiple subdivisions more with no name and only cryptic blurbs attached when you look in the properties. Lucky a USB 3.0 arrives as 'High Speed' which reduces my 3-point action fields, uncheck all sleep problems fixed.

• 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".

  If this does not resolve the problem, please let us know.

• Reference Dell with Vista/64 won't go to sleep by himself.

  I have a 3-year-old Dell running Vista 64 desktop computer.  I've only used the sleep (or hibernation... can't tell them apart) mode manually, using the keyboard command: [Fn] + F2 on this old HP keyboard.  It works fine, the machine goes to sleep, to be awakened by the mouse or any key, asking for a password for the connection.  Large.  But I set Power Options to get the machine going to sleep if she has been preserved for an hour, and he won't.  The screensaver comes on after 5 minutes as it should; the monitor turns off after 20 minutes, what is right, but the computer won't go to sleep.  What I'm missing here?  Thank you very much.

  UPDATE: the problem has been resolved.  The first reference cited by Robert gives two options: a manual change to the computer (registry?) via start/run and typed in command in the folder C: / / command prompt, or a downloadable "fix" to the millisecond.  I had tried the manual, but then returned and did the download.  The downloadable patch is obviously more than one manual, and it solved the problem.

• HP Envy 5660: HP Envy 5660 won't go to sleep.

  My new printer will not put standby, the display is always on. I put it to minutes from 10/05/15. None of them work.

  Hi @beeyatch,

  Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

  I read your post on how your printer HP Envy 5660 won't go to sleep. I'm happy to help you!

  Please try a hard reset by following the steps in this post, How to perform a hard reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the power cable from the printer is plugged directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector.

  I also recommend making sure that the firmware is up to date. Get the latest Firmware and updates.

• delete a block - my computer won't let me use google chrome as a browser. It indicates that the internet connection is not available.

  When you use the internet, my virus detector asked if I would allow google chrome to download a newer version. I clicked on the decline, and then my internet has stopped working. I finally got back on, but now my computer won't let me use google chrome as a browser. It indicates that the internet connection is not available. I was able to use other browsers, but not Google. I tried disabling my firewall to see if it would work then, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions? I'm afraid, that I blocked it somehow. Thank you!!

  Hello

  I suggest you post your question in the Google Chrome forums here: http://www.google.com/support/forum

• If my printer USB cable is connected, my computer won't start?

  If the printer is on and the USB port connected.  The computer won't start.  If I turn on the laptop with the USB plugged in and as it starts and then turn on the printer, everything works fine.  Almost ok.  I think I should be able to leave the printer on all the time as I do at work.  Then when I start the computer, the printer is ready.  Every other printer I've ever had worked this way.  Any suggestions?

  Maybe the printer looks like a hard drive (some printers have card readers that make them look like a disk) and the computer attempts to boot from the USB drive instead of the hard drive?  It would be a modification of the settings in the BIOS
