This started happening right after I ran a full system recovery.
I have researched this QUESTIONS for HOURS, but the only thing that seems to keep it in standby is to DISABLE my network. This is inconvenient, and was HOPING that there was some other way of fixing this problem.
I heard that if your computer is updating that this can happen, but my computer is not.My feeling is that neither standby nor hibernate works properly for everyone (though it works fine for some). Instead, I suggest SETTING your display and hd to power down after a defined period of inactivity. It will work and it uses fewer resources than the other choices.I don't understand why it worked perfectly fine before I did the system restore.What caused you to do the restore?I was told by a few people on another forum that the fastest way to fix my problems were to do a full system restore, which I regret.
The problem wasn't even that big.
Basically, it was a problem with web pages and videos not loading.Go into BIOS and disable Wake on LAN.
