14 DAY TRIAL // It seems that the Hewlett-Packard Pavilion 15 laptop is one of the devices affected by the Microsoft's OS update. Among issues related to crashes and bad updates implementation, now problems with machines not waking up from sleep appear.
On the HP forums, user Hemilios first noted an issue where HP Pavilion 15 laptops wouldn't go into sleep mode. He explains that, when he tried to close the laptop or put it manually into sleep mode, the screen would just turn off and the power button would remain on. The only way to actually shut down the computer would be by turning it off completely. On reboot, however, all the previous settings are lost.
It appears that this issue is not isolated, as many other users followed the original poster's main message and confirmed having the same issue. In some cases, Pavilion users would put their machines to sleep but they wouldn't be able to wake them up. Although these issues are somewhat to be expected from a new operating system, it's the corporate policy of many large companies to immediately upgrade their employees’ operating systems once new versions come out. Unfortunately, this puts their staff laptops at risk, as the new OS is still buggy and has security issues.
A controversial corporate policy that affects the work of thousands of employees
Having company computers crash multiple times while holding important data isn't really a practical move, but because of this risk, Microsoft works hard on updating its operating system so that it is fully compliant with any computer out there.
Hemilios finally got it solved with some help from a fellow forum user after updating his Intel(R) HD Graphics Family driver software, and restarting his machine. However, he admits that this fix doesn't solve the issue completely, as the computer will wake up randomly after a while. The settings not being saved after the restart is another issue that still remains unaddressed.
What Windows 10 users should do now is what every normal Windows user does after every new system hits the markets: wait for more system patches and for the system to improve.
