PC turned off when closing... watch as the powers off...

For some reason any about a week and a half my PC turns off is more when I go to shut down in the Start Menu as I have always in the past. The monitor stops, but the tower is still on.

I'm tired, trying to understand what is happening... virus scans report nothing and spyware program brings nothing more.

I am running Vista Ultimate 32 - bit version in a Raid-1 configuration.

Any help would be appreciated beyond words!

Thank you for reading my post!

There was a parameter in advanced, I found that said PC sleep when he "shut down..." I changed this to "shut down" option, and it worked fine. Tonight, he did the same thing again, and I don't remember how I got to where I was last night to change this setting! I'm going nuts... I don't know why the setting is changed once I selected "shut down" myself...?

go safely,

prepare your computer to clean boot, by typing msconfig in Start menu and then pressing on enter then disable all startup items and any of the services of windows, then restart in normal mode see if it makes a difference when trying to stop?

If she did then go back and see the one who caused the problem

Make sure that your system is clean:

    Hi there @emonsonjaya,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

    I understand that your notebook is turn on/off automatically when it is plugged. I'm happy to help you.

    I would recommend that you look at your BIOS, especially in power options and check if your BIOS has a setting option on automatically. If yes it change at your convenience.  Another option would be to update your BIOS and see if that solves it.

    Hello

    If you have not already done so, it can help to upgrade your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest version of the software, from your iPhone:

    Rather than spend your watch every night, you can find more convenient to charge your watch every night, from one day to the next.

    The watch cannot be overcharged, and the battery won't suffer harm of regular refills done every day. The load will automatically stop when the battery is fully charged and will start again if necessary due to the use of the current battery.

    Follow Apple's safety and handling instructions, and note also that:

    • It is not possible to turn the watch off the coast while it is on the charger and connected to the power supply - what is normal.
    • It is also normal to watch, adapter sector and charger become hot when it is connected to the power.

    I am able to make/receive calls from my iPad and Mac laptop when iPhone is off / Mode plane; However, this feature does not work on the watch. I can make and receive calls from the watch when the phone is turned on.

    If your Apple Watch is in range of a Wi - Fi network that the iPhone is connected to before, you can always do the following (even if the iPhone is off):

    • Send and receive digital messages Touch
    • Send and receive messages using Messages
    • Make and receive phone calls (if you have active calls, Wi - Fi, and you are within range of a Wi - Fi connected to your iPhone before)

    Make calls via Wi - Fi

    If your cellular operator offers Wi - Fi calls, you can use Apple Watch to make and receive calls over Wi - Fi instead of cellular network - even when your pair iPhone isn't with you or is disabled. Apple Watch comes to be in range of a Wi - Fi network that is connected to your iPhone in the past.

    To see if your carrier offers Wi - Fi calls, see the article Apple Support phone with Wi-Fi calls, then enable the calls on your iPhone and Apple Watch Wi - Fi.

    Note: You can make emergency calls via Wi - Fi, but when possible, use rather iPhone over a cellular connection - your location information will be more specific.

    Enable on iPhone Wi - Fi calls. On iPhone, go to settings > phone and turn on Wi - Fi calling and application to other devices.

    Enable calls on Apple Watch Wi - Fi. Open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap phone, then turn on Wi - Fi calls. If you do not see the parameter, make sure that you have activated calls on iPhone Wi - Fi.

    Answer please if you are able to perform any of these functions! And any troubleshooting you can think!

    These features are not available because Apple Watch cannot connect to a network of GHz Wi - Fi 5.

    If your watch is not connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth, but lying in a 2.4 GHz Wi - Fi network your iPhone plugged in before, the watch can connect to this network and you can continue to use certain features, including Wi - Fi calls (when it is supported by your operator, you already have in place).

  • My browser suddenly always opens on the page it is on when it was last closed and use the tabs even if I turned them off. I tried to reinstall.

    I have my browser open comcast.net Web page and never use tabs. I use firefox for years and am very familiar with it. He suddenly started opening on the last page, he was away when closed and began to use tabs. When I remove Firefox from my computer, he still all my settings. I had this problem once before years and finishes having to delete my entire drive to fix. I would avoid a wipe away this time. I need to know how to get ALL of the browsers install deleted registry information, so I can get a really fresh. And Yes, I have tried all the normal channels and I'm pretty computer savvy. Please help before I go nuts. I use the version the most recent, but that goes back to the old versions didn't help either. Thank you.

    Bob Smith

    Software sometimes external will create or update an optional parameters file named user.js. For some reason, one of the things that often turns in there is a preference to restore your previous session at once. However, because Firefox uses user.js to override your normal parameters, whenever it starts, which then turns into a permanent change.

    More contact information system (next to your message) shows that you have a user.js file. To check what are the benefits and/or remove, try this technical support article: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    Note that by default, Windows hides your search Firefox profile folder and facilitate navigation in Windows Explorer. You can access the folder from inside using Firefox

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should start the folder in Windows Explorer.

    A little luck?

  • 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".

  • Super screen sensitive like I can't turn off the laptop and hear a clicking noise when the lid is closed

    I am running Windows 7 on a computer Tablet laptop of Dell Latitude (it has a touch screen that is not removable, but it turns). My problem is that I can not shut down this computer and carry it from one place to the other without losing all my battery power: you can hear 'ping' when the lid is lowered. If I have to carry that I have to turn off completely, otherwise it will just keep producing this ping and use my battery. Everyone knows this?

    This ping me makes me believe that a key is pressed, perhaps due to a letter from the keyboard that is stuck or is bad, or possibly a defect of the product.
