Need to troubleshoot Sleep not working after midnight Windows Update..

Thanks. It's interesting how if something doesn't meet your expectations, you can't see it. I expected Windows Update to have a novel name...Window Update

So having located them, I can't really tell much. A lot of the various triggers are listed as Custom Trigger, and you can't even open/read what it's settings are.

That being said, I suspect they are right. I can't see how they would be messed up, unless of course some type of virus got past Defender. But I'm sure that's not the case, as I have completely reloaded this laptop since this problem started, and the problem remains. That's why I am suspicious that it is a hardware problem.

So, at this point I have the Wake Timers enabled instead of Only Important. Waiting for an update to happen and see how it goes. I will say that during one of the wakes while I was testing, a Windows Update did happen, and the laptop did not freeze at a black screen.

I'll post back once the next over night Windows Update happens.

I really apprecaite the in put .

Interesting.

I wonder if on those other threads it is the problem that fixed mine that you pointed out: ie. Allow Wake Timers. It's pretty buried.

I did notice that 2 of the threads you posted were pretty old.

I may piddle down through the other one. You have my interest piqued.

On others comments...I've found the same thing on other threads.

I know in my case, if someone is handling it and I can't specifically offer something, I abstain myself. And of course, if I have no idea I abstain then too

Consider making a free backup image > clean install 2004 > test sleep and wake > restore image after completing the testing

I'd interest in trying that, when I can plan a couple days without my apps. But I don't think the 2004 will install on this laptop. I only say that because of this message in Windows Update:



Black Screen Issue Remains
This morning I came in and found the laptop running again, and of course a black screen when I opened the lid, locked. Had to hold power button to kill/restart.
The Windows Update happened at 7:30 a.m. this morning, so it wasn't very warm yet.

It's not like I have really done anything to resolve the issue. At this point have just been researching sleep issues. But the only time I have those issues is after an overnight Windows Update. I find it hard to believe I'm the only person with this issue. This issue has been a bugger.
