Win 11 will not load after coming out of sleep mode
I've been searching for a resolution for this issue for 2 weeks now and everything listed is no help. What is posted here is very similar to other "solutions" in various places that didn't resolve the issue. I've had the same PC for 4 years and it has had zero issues with power and sleep management until the October 2024 Update. The BIOS is the latest version, all drivers are updated, I've reset the power settings to default, I swapped display port cables on the monitor, run diagnostics on the the GPU, ensured the power management settings on all USB peripherals were not affected by sleep, ran the Windows Power Troubleshooter, ran an OS system scan and ran a cleanup image/restore health tool with no errors found. The "troubleshooter" found 2 issues--the sleep and shut off monitor times were too long (20 minutes instead of 15)--and reset them to 15 minutes. This was ZERO help. There is something wrong with the power management settings in the software and NOT a hardware issue. I know you don't care about the end user anymore Microsoft and this kind of issue makes it very tempting to move to Mac or Linux after being a lifelong Windows user. Nothing like trying to jump on your PC to accomplish something only to have to spend hours trying to fix a problem that was never a problem before an OS update.
Same here, I'm totally pissed off and now looking for migrating to other OS without losing any application.
I don't need a lot of the business applications anymore, but I've loaded up Linux Mint on another PC and I'm really liking it. Open Office is free and does just about anything the MS version does. There are so many applications available for free in Linux that would do what you need without you having to buy anything. If you're a gamer, Bazzite and SteamOS are solid options to replace Windows. The cool thing is you can load both of those OS's on your Windows PC and try them out (I highly recommend dual booting or try it on another system you rarely use if you have such a thing). Don't let Linux scare you--there are so many helpful videos on how to do anything on YouTube and I hardly ever use the command line. Check out SteamOS too as Valve is going to make Steam run on just about anything and there is a desktop portion of it, it's not just a gaming application. It's time Microsoft really started listening to the community and caring about making a great OS again and not data collection and tracking analytics to make money.
