Setting the laptop to reboot after a power failure

[dvdrttr14]

First, I own the product in question.  This is an older laptop that I bought from a friend to have as a spare,  Great buy.  🙂

The only thing I can't find is how to set the laptop to reboot in the event of a power failure.  I'm not sure if this is possible since there is a battery in the laptop but wanted to know if anyone has a solution.

I already checked the BIOS and there is no setting to restore to last state in the event of a power failure.  I downloaded and updated the BIOS to the most current version and still no option to do that.  

It's not critical but I can avoid a docking station if there's a way to do this.

Thanks.

Hi @dvdrttr14,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

I understand you're looking for information related to auto reboot in the event of power failure.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, I'm here to help you today.

Unfortunately, many consumer laptops, including the HP Laptop 17-by4061nr, don't have a built-in BIOS option for automatic reboot after a power failure. This is more commonly found in servers or specialized hardware.

Please mark this post as “Accepted Solution” if the issue is resolved and if you feel this reply was helpful click “Yes”.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a great day ahead!

Thanks.  When I couldn't find it, and the BIOS upgrade didn't change anything, I assumed that was the case.  Just wanted to try the experts to see if I was missing anything.  🙂

Thanks again for your help.
