I think it worked typing it in.  It now shows exactly what you listed:

 

C:\Windows\system32> powercfg.exe -h off

C:\Windows\system32>

[Advertisements]

Reboot and then see if it's any better at going to sleep.

[kristi10]

Went to sleep normally, still slow to wake but nowhere near as slow as the past couple of days.  Improvement!

[RKinner]

Good.  Got to go to bed now.  It's almost midnight here.

[kristi10]

Ditto.  Have a good night and thanks for your continued help.

Good morning,

 

After doing the powercfg.exe -h off the other night, the computer did wake from sleep faster.  But yesterday, it was back to being as slow as it was before.  Maybe it's all in my head, but it seems that the longer it['s asleep, the longer it takes to wake up.

From an elevated cmd prompt type:

powercfg  -ENERGY

It will create a file at:

 

C:\Windows\system32\energy-report.html

 

Please Attach it to your next post.

Sleep states allow the computer to enter low-power modes after a period of inactivity. The S3 sleep state is the default sleep state for Windows platforms. The S3 sleep state consumes only enough power to preserve memory contents and allow the computer to resume working quickly. Very few platforms support the S1 or S2 Sleep states.

It says you can use S1 so see if you can do the following:

 

Speed up sleep with S1 sleep mode: If you're looking for an option that will save power and resume even faster than S3 sleep mode does, you can access S1 sleep mode. Resuming from S1 usually takes less than 2 seconds. To access S1, open your system's BIOS by restarting the computer and pressing the appropriate key during boot-up—typically you'll see a message similar to 'Press Del to enter Setup'.

Once you are in the BIOS, go to Power Management, Suspend Mode. There you will see an option to change the default suspend mode from S3 to S1. Change it and press Esc to exit the BIOS (be sure to select the Save option when it prompts you to save the settings).

From now on, when you choose Sleep from the Start menu, your computer will go into S1 sleep mode. Just a note for you conservationists out there: S1 sleep mode uses about 112 watts to S3's 5 watts, so it isn't as easy on your electric bill (or for laptop users, your battery) as S3 is.

_{BIOS power tab only gives the following options:}

 

_{After AC power failure - stay off, etc}

_{S5 maximum power savings - enable/disable}

_{WOL in S5 - enable/disable}

_{NX (no execute) - enable/disable}

_{Virtualization technology - enable/disable}

 

_{Other than the power tab, I don't see an option for power management.}

[RKinner]

Try disabling

 

S5 maximum power savings - enable/disable

[kristi10]

I believe that the S5 maximum power savings was already set to disable, but I had changed a couple of them to enable, to check and see if that gave me further drill down options.  It didn't.  So I exited without saving changes, rebooted and returned to BIOS and S5 does say disabled.

 

I exited and did not restart the computer until yesterday.  After doing so, when opening the internet, I'm now getting a message that says "would you like to make IE your default browser."   Tools -> Internet Options -> Programs does show that IE is not the default browser and gives the option to make it the default browser.  But I can't imagine what changed it.  I don't even have another browser on this PC that I know of or can find.  I've tried to figure out what the current browser is set to, but no luck.  Everything still opens in IE as though it was the default.

 

Thank you, Kristi

[RKinner]

Thought you had Chrome at one time.  Just tell IE that it can be your default browser.  For what it's worth it's not a good idea to just have the one browser.  Best to have a spare in case IE quits on you.
