Windows will not sleep with the attached USB

I have two computers, a Windows 7 and XP, which have USB drives connected, and they are set to turn out to fall asleep after two hours of no activity but do not sleep when I am away. There was nothing running, no keyboard/mouse input. Is there a way to fix what is happening? Readers USB prevent sleep?

Hello

Thanks for posting your question on the forum of the Microsoft community.

I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

Have you made any changes to your computer hardware or software?

It seems that the power settings are not correct.

I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

Method 1:
Disable the ability of the USB device to wake the computer and check. To do this, please follow these steps:

a. Click Start, right-click computer and then click on 'manage '.

b. in the user account control dialog box, click "continue".

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

c. click on Device Manager, expand USB, right click on the device bus controllers and then click

Properties.

d. click the "Power management" tab and clear the checkbox "Allow this device to wake the computer" and then click ok.

If this does not help, then use method 2.

  • Pavilion p6 - 2120t: Windows will not start with the new graphics card

    Installed a Zotac GT 740 profile down in my desktop PC graphics card HP Pavilion p6 - 2120t and now the PC does not start.

    HP Pavilion p6 - 2120t CTO desktop PC

    Configuration:
    Intel Pentium CPU [email protected]
    4.0 GB RAM
    Intel HD Graphics Driver version Family: 8.15.10.2291 dated 27/01/2011
    Motherboard: IPISB-CU (Carmel2) (1 open PCI Express 16 expansion slot pins)

    BIOS to Version 7.18

    Running:
    Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit w/service pack 1
    Two monitors (VGA, 1 digital port 1)

    Before installing the new graphics card, I replaced the power supply original 300w with a 400w power supply.

    For starters, I disabled the onboard graphics in Device Manager. Then, I opened the case and installed the GT-740 in the open PCI Express slot. I made sure that the card was fully engaged in the slot.

    I plugged both monitors to their connections voted on the new map.

    When I tried to boot the PC, the digital monitor displays the screen HP (the one that indicates which key support to achieve the start menu) and then frozen. No other entries of key or mouse have been accepted.

    The PC then sounds 4 short beeps (about 10 seconds between each beep) and then a long beep before turning off the signal to the screen.

    Then, I removed the new graphics card on the PC that starts then. I have reactivated the original graphics drivers and the PC then worked normally.

    Tried the above process two more times with the same results.

    I then went into the start menu to look at the BIOS. The menu of the BIOS shows two options:

    > Sources of boot UEFI

    Windows Boot Manager

    > Sources of boot legacy

    ATAP I CD/DVD player

    SATA2

    Hard drive

    SATA0

    Network controller (Realtek PXE B06 D00)

    PC using UEFI Boot Manager Windows boots normally

    I have not tried Legacy Boot Sources because I don't know which one to choose.

    I went to the HP site and looked for an update to the newest BIOS, but updating them is a rev version 7.16 while my PC shows my BIOS to version 7.18

    I know that others have had a similar problem but I have not seen a solution that works for my PC.

    Any advice would be welcome.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hello

    Your PC isn't spec'd to run Windows 7 using the Windows Boot Manager.  I expect to a UEFI-based graphics card likely to work on an HP PC that does not have a BIOS version 8.

    The below listed OEM HP, graphics cards should work in your PC using a normal non - UEFI W7 and W8 installation.

  • Windows will not communicate with the printer

    Tried to print a document of all programs on windows vista and nothing does, can't get emails or internet content to print either. The only thing I can get to print is the printer test page. Even went as far as buying a new printer, installed software, and the same results. Need help please!

    Hi boatwasher,

    First, you'll want to check your printer manufacturer's Web site to ensure that you have the latest software/drivers.

  • 2602AP will not register with the 5508 controller

    Hello all-

    We have a 5508 controller that manages the HA to about 20 branches - each branch has its own subnet. We have a single branch (subnet) with new 2602 AP who will not register with the controller. All communications to that subnet appear normal and there is no ACL in place between the AP and the controller. The AP is able to resolve the IP address of the controller via DNS and start the registration process, but then timeout. We have installed 2602 AP successfully to other areas of the branch and they fit without any problems - it is a problem only in one branch. I have attached a few debug messages below for a single point of access (it's a production environment, so I analyzed useless info) and also included messages from the console to a different access point (the console AP messages are the same). There are currently 9 AP here and none of them will record this. Any ideas?

    Firewall?  Routing loop?

  • The permissions of folder/drive Windows 8 will not work with the Administrators group?

    I read through some of the other questions on the etc folder permissions, but don't really know the answer to this question, or I do not understand what has been the response.

    I did a new install of Windows 8 and have a few records that I stored stuff I now want to use it as well with Windows 8.  As with the other threads, I was getting access denied error etc and have not defined administrators group/full control permissions, but I still couldn't access readers, and my connection is type administrators.

    When I take the disk permissions with my local user rather than to the Administrators group, but, it works very well, even if no one else can access the drives.

    I am confused on how I can make this work for administrators rather than my specific user account, thank you very much!

    If you know that you are a member of the ADMINISTRATORS group, then just browse the classic desktop and open Windows EXPLORER (WINDOWS KEY + E). Right CLICK on the C DRIVE, and then choose PROPERTIES. Click the SECURITY TAB, and then click the entry of ADMINISTRATORS (computername\administrators). Verify that the checkbox under ALLOW checked for each entry. If it not to hit EDIT and tick all the boxes ALLOW. Then click OK and OK. Check the settings for the SYSTEM account.

    If the first step does not work, try this step only. If it does not, click ADVANCED on the SECURITY tab. In the PERMISSIONS tab highlight of ADMINISTRATORS, choose CHANGE PERMISSIONS. Ensure that all are checked in the BASIC PERMISSIONS area. The menu is APPLIES to drop down, make sure it is set on this FOLDER, subfolders and FILES. Click OK, OK, and then APPLY.
  • Windows 7 not compatible with the Epson Stylus Photo R380

    I have an Epson Stylus Photo R380 printer connected via USB to my Windows XP desk top.  I also have a laptop Windows 7, I want to share the printer.  I find that the drivers are not compatible.  Are there workarounds?   Thank you

    Windows 7 is not inconsistent with the Epson Stylus Photo R380 (if anything, it would be the other way around).  The link shows that it should 'work' with Windows 7.

    You may indeed need to connect the printer (directly) to the Windows 7 system once to get the appropriate drivers installed before trying to share your desktop Windows XP out to the other system on the network.  No guarantee it will work on the network like that - but I don't see why he wouldn't.

    Hardware support always comes from the manufacturer of the equipment, regardless of the operating system that you choose to run.  If a hardware manufacturer decides that they will not put the drivers for a device after a given operating system or even a service pack on an operating system - it is their prerogative.  It has nothing to do with the operating system, or those who made the operating system.

    You have 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7?

    If all goes well a part of which will take you to where you need to be.  In the end, however, do not forget it is the hardware manufacturer who takes in charge (or not) your hardware (for all other devices that comes up for.)

  • computer will not start with the disc

    I use vista and my computer does not start because of a corrupted file.

    I put my vista disk in such suggested, but the screen does not move any command of keys to press and just goes round in a loop. So I can't the computer to start and fix.

    I changed the bios to boot from the cd as first choice but still no results.

    can anyone help?

    Could it be that the disk driver does not work like the disk isn't loading? Or the disc will not load because the press any key order is not coming?

    I am old enough and not very technically experienced but this computer has served me well and I have a lot of information that I need to go down there if I have to buy another.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have correctly setting the boot order in the BIOS to CD/DVD first, and the computer does not start, your problem has nothing to do with the driver for the CD/DVD drive. Also running in safe mode or SFC can maybe help you.

    The reason that pilots, safe mode and FCS can help you is the same for all three: boot (if from the hard drive or a CD or DVD) takes place before loading Windows. If it boots from a CD or a bootable DVD, the problem has nothing to do with Windows. It's a hardware problem. I don't know what the problem is, but it is possible that the CD/DVD drive is dead.

    What is wrong can but fixable, but whether it is cost-effective to do so is another matter. It depends on what the problem is. If the CD/DVD player, they are inexpensive, so replacement should not be expensive. Fortunately, it's not like there is a problem with the hard drive, so even if you buy a new computer, you must be able to remove the hard drive from the old computer, put it in an external enclosure and to transfer the data to the new computer.

    Let me add another point: you say "I have a lot of information that I need to get off it if I have to buy another." This suggests that you don't regularly back up your data on an external support. If this is the case, you've played with fire. It is always possible that a hard disk crash, the user error, close to love at first sight, virus attack, even stolen computer, can result in the loss of everything on your drive. As it has often been said, it is not a question of whether you will have a problem, but when.

  • Windows will not install on the new drive for HP Pavilion Elite m9510f

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9510f operation with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP1 and with a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 HDD of 750 GB.

    The HARD drive broke down a few weeks ago and is unrecoverable.

    I bought Seagate 1 TB hard drive to replace the 750Go again and used the HP recovery discs provided by HP to wipe the disk and reinstall Windows on it.

    I can run all the recovery discs 3 without problem, the computer goes through its paces to reinstall Windows and all of a sudden, the computer stops and I get the message "installing Windows could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

    What is happening with this?  I use a HARD drive with recovery disks provided by HP.

    HARD drive replacement need to be 750Go like the original?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Probably a problem with the hard drive being the new type of AF. Windows 7 with SP1 should work better than Vista... but your Vista key will not work with ISO download linked above.

  • Tree view on the left of the Explorer of Windows 7 not synchronized with the file on the right.

    1. create a shortcut to a folder.
    2. click on the shortcut.
    3 explore opens with the contents of the folder in the right pane, but the tree left is not synchronized with the location on the right. You must navigate on the left tree to get to the location of the folder on the right side. In the XP folder as this is done automatically.

    The whole point (I thought) shortcuts to specific locations in the directory structure was to avoid having to navigate several lower levels from the root of a tree...

    Any way to configure the behavior of XP?

    Thank you.

    Hi Rptrevor,

    ·         How you used to synchronize folders in Windows Explorer?

    Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

    a. right click on an empty space in the left pane (folder), you get a menu with two options

    b. 'show all files' and 'Developing in the current folder'.

    c. believing that the empty space is a bit complicated and the options are sticky (it's the same thing than to go through the 'Folder Options' dialog box).

    I hope this helps.

  • Nested tables will not align with the primary table


    Hi all. Looks like I am facing another obstacle focus on the table. While I was creating one of my pages, I used nested tables to create a column on the left side of the page that will contain my menu secondary, while the other column will hold a flash element and the content of the page.

    Although I have inserted tables nested with a spacing of the cell '0' and '0' cell padding and Visual AIDS seem to indicate that the values in the nested table are identical with the primary table who is the holder, the nested table that will contain the film and the page content is not embedded with the table above. It seems to be off by 1-2 pixels or more, but since there will be a right on the image under the menu is quite obvious.
