My desktop computer is super slow waking up from sleep mode.  it takes several minutes just to get back to the login screen.  Then when entering my PIN/password, sometimes it takes a minute for that to process, other times it is immediate. 

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have an HP pavilion HPE Desktop with AMD FX-6100 Six-Core processor with 16 GB memory running Windows 10 Pro Version 2004 with latest updates.

Regards,

Jeff

    Thanks again Louie,

    Ran the Power Troubleshooting.  No incorrect power settings

    Checked Device Manager - no hardware issues.

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks.

    Hello Jeff!

    I'm sorry if the steps mentioned didn't work. You may try this methods and see it works:

    Method 1: Run the power troubleshooter

    The power troubleshooter can automatically detect and fix any incorrect power settings. Refer to these steps to run this troubleshooter:

    Type Troubleshooting in search bar and click it

    Click System & Security

    Click Power and run the troubleshooter

    Method 2: If the power troubleshooter doesn’t detect any incorrect settings, then it is possible that the issue is caused by an incompatible or corrupt driver. When the computer goes to sleep mode, Windows sends a request to all hardware parts asking to enter sleep mode. But if the driver for a particular hardware part (like a network adapter or graphic card) is corrupt, it might not respond to these requests and may prevent the computer from entering sleep mode. To resolve this, I would suggest you to run Windows update to make sure that you have installed the latest drivers for all the devices.

    Method 3: If updating all the drivers doesn’t resolve the issue, then I would suggest you to check the Device manager to check if Windows has reported any hardware issues with any of the devices. Refer to these steps to check the device status:

    a. Press Windows key + X, select Device manager.

    b. Locate the Bluetooth adapter.

    c. Check if there is a yellow exclamation mark or a red cross mark over it.

    d. Right click on device and select properties.

    e. In the General tab, check the device status.

    Hope this will do the trick.

    Regards,

    Louie
