Laptop does not wake up from sleepmode (or standby mode)

[Mile20]

Hello,

I have problems with waking up my laptop from sleepmode, it happens when i go to power settings and manually select sleep mode and also when my notebooks enters sleep mode due to inactivity. When my laptop is in sleep mode the power button shows that my laptop is on, however, i am unable to wake up the laptop no matter which buttons i press. This problem does not always occur, sometimes I am able to wake up my laptop from sleepmode but more often than not I am unable to do this and have to restart the laptop by holding the power button. 

My laptop is up-to-date, I have the most recent windows 10 and the most recent updates from HP Support Assistant.

Welcome to HP support community.

Please follow the below steps: 

Step 1: Enabling the Keyboard in Windows 

Skip this step if the computer does not enter sleep mode or if the computer wakes unexpectedly. 

Follow these steps to enable your keyboard to wake your computer from sleep mode: 

1. In Windows, search for and open the Device Manager. 

2. Click the arrow next to Keyboards and double-click the name of your keyboard. 

3. If the Power Management tab is available, proceed to the next step. 

If the Power Management tab is not available, click the Change Settings button if it appears below the Device status box. The same Keyboard Properties window opens with the Power Management tab available. 

If you are prompted for an Administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 

1. Click the Power Management tab and make sure that the box next to Allow this device to wake the computer is checked. 

2. Click OK, and then test to make sure that the keyboard can now wake the computer. If the computer still cannot wake from sleep mode, continue using these steps. 

3. For instructions on how to update the BIOS of your computer, see one of the following HP support documents: Updating the BIOS (Notebooks)
