To save energy, the Windows operating system has two modes: standby and hibernation. The difference between these two modes is that when hibernation is selected, all memory contents are saved to the hard disk and it takes longer to return the computer to an operational state. The "Power supply" component is responsible for the settings of the sleep mode.
Instructions
Step 1
To wake up the computer from sleep mode, press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse. If pressing any keys does not work, enter the keyboard shortcut Ctrl, alt="Image" and Del, or press the Esc key.
Step 2
If this action still does not help, press the Reset button on your computer, or switch the switch on the back of the computer to the Disabled state, switch it back to the Enabled position, and press the Power key on the front panel. In this case, the "desktop" will have to be restored in the same form as it was before going into hibernation mode.
Step 3
If the system asks for a password when you wake up from hibernation, enter the same password that you logged in with when the operating system boots. This prompt is displayed when a screen saver is used before entering sleep mode.
Step 4
To turn off the password prompt when you wake up from sleep mode, open the Display component. This can be done in one of several ways. Right-click on a free area of the "Desktop" and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu.
Step 5
Alternatively, open the Control Panel via the Start menu and left-click on the Display icon in the Appearance and Themes category. In the window that opens, go to the "Screensaver" tab and uncheck the "Password protection" field. Apply the new settings.
Step 6
To disable or configure the sleep mode settings on your computer, on the same "Screensaver" tab in the "Display Properties" window, click on the "Power" button in the "Power Saving" group. The Power Options component opens.
Step 7
You can also call it in another way: the "Start" menu, "Control Panel", the category "Performance and Maintenance", the icon "Power". Go to the "Power Schemes" tab in the window that opens and set the parameters you need to regulate the transition of the computer to sleep mode. Apply new settings, close windows.
