I think the sleep feature in the Win 10/64 on my laptop has become corrupted. When I put the machine to sleep, sometimes it wakes normally, but about 70% of the time, on waking the machine has shut down and re-boots.
I know MS Office has an online repair feature, so I was wondering if Win 10 does something like this. I'd like to troubleshoot a bit, before I go all the way to reinstalling Windows.
You could try the DISM restoreheath option mentioned here Use DISM to Repair Windows 10 Image Performance Maintenance Tutorials
Then run sfc /scannow Run SFC Command in Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials
If those fail to solve the issue, I would attempt a repair install Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade Installation Upgrade Tutorials before a clean install.
Component Store process found and repaired an error, but that didn't resolve the issue. The command prompt process gave some message that said Protection could not complete a task, but another command said there were no issues found.
Sounds like my next choice is a repair from Settings (since my machine didn't include the original media), where I can keep my files on the OS drive, but I will have to download reinstall all my programs. Any more suggestions before I go through with it? thanks
Before I tried a Reset or a clean install, I would try a repair install with the media downloaded. Before I did anything I would back up my personal files. This process should leave them in place and just as they were, but you can't be too careful with computers.
