Unable to come out of Sleep mode

The method left by mrsmith988works on my Dell XPS L502x.
Many thanks to them!

I have already gone back to Windows 8.1+Classic Shell, and will wait a couple months before I try again.

Running a Dell XPS 15, (L502X). Upgraded from 7 to 10 Pro yesterday. Played around a bit with the new OS and then went off to other things. Laptop went into sleep mode after 15 minutes as it always has. But this time I couldn't wake it up. Required me to power off the unit, then power it back on. Same thing happens now each time the machine goes to sleep mode.
Anyone experiencing something similar? Suggestions? Thank you.

Just upgraded to Windows 10 from 7 Home Premium earlier this week and having the exact same problem. As others have mentioned, the Dell site says the L502X has not been deemed fit for Windows 10...yet, hopefully. I hear Microsoft is pushing out some fixes on 08/10...maybe there will be a patch. It may be up to Dell though. May have to revert to 7 as well if this can't be remedied.

10 has lots of nice bells and whistles, but 7 has always served me just fine. Going to wipe my hard disk and do a clean install of 7 and be done with it. Next PC I buy I'll go with 10.

I have an HP laptop with the same problem. I use a screen saver instead of sleep mode until they fix this. I thought of going back to 8.1 but , no I like the format.

If you go back to post #27 I've got a fix for the issue. You just have to run Win 8 drivers.

Yea I did read that thank you, but I'm not comfortable with that . Thanks anyway.

What about the webcam? Quanta doesn't work for me... everything running smooth and well on Win10 since the fix posted in this forum.
If anyone could help with the webcam drivers or fix please..


Thank you...

Just checked the drivers on my laptop and they are the Quanta driver 14/05/2010 ver 1.0.1404.1005 - works for me..

To fix the black screen after sleep I only installed the - STMicroelectronics Accelerometer (Free Fall Motion) driver 2.2.2.10 - just installed the driver normally.. link posted by mrsmith988 a few days ago.. post #27

Seconded with extraordinarily many thanks to mrsmith988 and Delta101 - just reinstalling the win8 driver for the accelerometer has me able to sleep and resume again! Thanks so much.

I am having a similar Windows 10 problem in that if I leave my desktop idle for a longer time (hours), with apps open like Chrome, when I return any apps that were open are closed. It is then very difficult getting anything to run again. In some cases I can get Chrome working again but the PC is very slow and Windows 10 does an automatic reboot after a minute or so. Usually the only way to get the PC operational again is with a reboot which requires a power-off. This is a new problem only started about 3 days ago. Before then everything was working fine to the best of my knowledge.

I upgraded from Windows 7 and I run an HP Pavilion p7-1155 desktop with a Nvidia Geforce GT 630 graphics card with the driver version 10.18.13.5362.

I am uncertain if any of the workarounds in this thread are applicable to my issue? Any advice would be welcomed.
