Hi everyone,
After the upgrade to Windows 11, I've found that my laptop won't go to sleep after closing the lid. The fan keeps making noise with the lid closed, and the battery is drained.
When opening the lid again, the computer won't respond to anything (blank screen, power button does nothing, keyboard doesn't respond), but it's active because the fan is working.
This was working fine before the upgrade and is a major problem, because the battery dies pretty quickly.
Laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad 530 i7 8 GB ram.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best!
David
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
That is correct. when I close the lid, the laptop also mutes but DHCP is still running, and take more battery. and win 10 I don't have this problem, and I didn't test specifically on win 10. I want to use win 11 and fix this error somehow simply. currently, when I want to sleep, l turns off Wi-Fi. It will work fine.
Don't see the fact that anyone mentioned that hardware can be enabled or not during suspend. Various power related settings affect how a computer reacts during suspend. There are power states in many BIOS for example that control how a computer is suspended and power can be applied to parts during suspend. Seems that you might want to look into that.
OK, here is that test. The system behaved as should be expected. The audio stopped as soon as the lid was closed. I left it that way for 19 minutes.
I opened the lid and tapped the spacebar and the system woke up and starting playing again. There is no mention of any Audio Service or DHCP actions happening. You are on Win 11 and I am on 10. That plus the different processor may make a difference but I don't really think it would. Something strange is happening on that system.
OK, you want to be able to close the lid or use the power button to put the system to sleep while streaming. If that is the case, I will test that next.
I do worry about closing the lid because of thinking the screen may still be on.
Hi. my laptop is the same as your problem. Is there any way that the computer can turn off DHCP completely?
We can't say that when I want to sleep or close the lid, you need to turn off all streams or youtube tabs. it's really annoying
