Laptop Won't Wake From Sleep? How to Fix It Print

  • 0

If your laptop won't wake up after sleeping, the screen stays black or it seems frozen, these steps get it responding again.

1
Press keys, then the power button
Tap the spacebar or a key first. If nothing happens, press (don't hold) the power button once.
2
Force a restart
Hold the power button 10 seconds until it powers off, then turn it back on.
3
Update graphics and chipset drivers
Outdated drivers are the top cause of failed wake-ups. Install pending updates (see our driver guide).
4
Change sleep settings
Settings → System → Power → adjust when it sleeps, or set the lid action so it doesn't sleep unexpectedly.
5
Turn off Fast Startup
Control Panel → Power Options → Choose what the power buttons do → uncheck Fast Startup. This fixes many wake issues.
6
Allow devices to wake it
Device Manager → your keyboard/mouse → Power Management → enable “Allow this device to wake the computer.”
