#Windows 10 not sleeping when lid closed update#

I still cannot find anywhere to update my BIOS though which is frustrating. I'll feel quite bad if it just ends up being a hardware issue. Thank you again for spending the time to try and help me diagnose this.

#Windows 10 not sleeping when lid closed install#

I'm quite tempted to just entirely wipe my laptop to see if it functions normally because that would verify that it is indeed a hardware issue.В But that also sounds like a complete and total pain and I don't want to lose everything configured in my Windows 10 install :/ I'm going toВ continue looking into it and trying things. It's definitely the computer trying to recover from sleep mode but then failing to and shutting off. No fans spinning, nothing is going on when opening it back up. Fast Startup is a feature of Windows 10 which controls the behavior of Windows 10 shut down and startup. when I close the lid sleep or hibernate If this does not fix your issue, move to the next solution. Positive that it's not something to do with screen brightness though, the computer is 100% off. Make sure you have selected Sleep or Hibernate under When I close lid option for both On battery and Plugged in. I'm HOPING it is some type of BIOS/Config related thing but I'm at a loss for what to try. I'll try contacting Samsung to see if it is some type of hardware issue. closing the laptop and then opening it back up and it would resume where I left off). I am 100% sure that my computer worked just fine in sleep mode for most of the time I had the laptop though. I'm trying to remember if this just only started happening after dual booting CloudReady or if it was happening before this. Almost like it's trying to wake up from sleep but then fails to and shuts off. So the recurring theme here is that when the computer is normally about to wake up from sleep mode, it proceeds to turn the blue LED on for a couple seconds before it turns off. I thenВ press the power button again and the computer boots up as if it has been shut off. When the M.2 SSD was installed I booted from the original factory HDD and used a cloning. At this point I am thinking their is a hardware defect with the computer. I have to manually put it to sleep via the windows taskbar option next to shut down. And nothingВ proceeds toВ wake the computer up. Everything went well, however the problem is not fixed, regardless of what I do, the computer refuses to go to sleep when the lid is closed. When I press the power button once (which usually would wake up the computer from sleep), that same blue power LED turns on for a couple seconds then shuts off.

After I manually put the computer into sleep Windows and the sleep button, when I press buttons on the keyboard/external mouse/keyboard, nothing happens.

When I then proceed to press the power button, it just boots up as ifВ the computer was shut off. At this point I have tried using anВ external keyboard with S3 Wake-up enabled, pressing all the buttons on the built-in keyboard, mouse, etc.

If I close the lid and then open it back up, the power light turns blue for a couple seconds then turns off.

What seems to be consistently happening is: It is only happening in CloudReady.ДЄs for the sleep mode which is very frustrating is the following. It is definitely a trackpad reading to the computer, but this does not happen whatsoever in the Windows 10 OS when I boot into there so it's not a hardware problem with the trackpad. It still becomes choppy or stops completely. I tried your suggestion of being more careful about pressure and nothing really changes. It will also make sure you won't accidentally shut the lid and toss the laptop in your backpack while it's still running, which can generate a lot of dangerous heat.As per the touchpad functionality, I tried using a mouse and there's no choppiness or lag whatsoever. This allows the closed laptop to continue functioning while it is hooked up to a power source, so you can use it as a desktop alternative without having to deal with the device itself. The 'When I close the lid' section presents a drop-down menu with four options-Sleep, Hibernate, Shut down, and Do Nothing-based on the laptop's power state: on battery or plugged in.ДЇor example, you could set it to Do Nothing when the laptop is plugged in, but select the Sleep option when the computer is on battery power. You can also type 'Lid' into the Start menu to immediately find this menu. Navigate to Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Choose what closing the lid does. Open the Start menu and search for Control Panel. Computer goes to sleep or hibernate due to inactivity, but wont wake up by any keyboard key press. You can change this behavior in any version of Windows with a simple settings tweak inside the old pre- Windows 10 Control Panel. Not able to turn ON after shutting down or sleeping laptop. (You could use your laptop as a second monitor, of course, but that takes up precious desk space you may not have.) Choose What Closing the Lid Does This isn't ideal if you want to fold up your laptop and hide it out of sight while 'docked' on your workspace. There's one problem: by default, Windows puts your computer to sleep when you close the lid.
