On my HP Spectre 13-3001 with Windows 10 (64 bit) installed (Product # F2P12AS#ABA), waking from sleep takes SEVERAL MINUTES before the system is usable. All open applications are closed once it does become usable and I have to open them each again. However the clock is correct.
In Device Manager, "Intel Management Engine Interface" (MEI) has a yellow exclamation mark icon by it.
Device Status: "This device cannot start. (Code 10) STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE
I have updated all drivers from the HP support page for this specific laptop including the MEI driver, however that did not fix it.
I have also tried enabling and disabling "Turn on fast startup" within Power Options, but that did not fix it either.
Could it be that my CMOS battery is dead or about to die?
If so where is the CMOS battery? I have removed the case, removed the large battery, and can see the motherboard, but do not see the usual CMOS battery in my HP Spectre 13-3001 laptop.
