Automatic Sleep And Hibernation Gone After Updates KB953155 And KB954154
Dec 7, 2008
Both sleep and hibernation worked perfectly according to the power options settings at their preset times before installing updates KB953155 and KB954154. Now, the power options do not work anymore, only the manual command works. I uninstalled those updates and also tried to make a restore from a restore point I made just before installing the updates. Windows makes an automatic restore point, also. I tried this one too, but nothing solves the problem. It is a desktop pc, and I use those functions all along the day when unexpectedly going out and coming in. I don’t know what else to do.

I left my comp on overnight and now it has either gone to a deep sleep or hibernation and it wont come on now. I have an Acer Aspire L320 running on windows vista. Wheb i tried to wake it up nothing happened and now comp wont work. I have tried restarting, unplugging then starting, i thought i had tried everything but i am missing something. When i do try to switch the comp on again the fans make a noise then nothing, does this mean that something really bad has happened?

Forgive my apparent ignorance about this, but I've posted in recent months about my machine waking up on its own while in Hibernation. However, it only happened seldomly --ninety to ninety-five percent of the time it just stayed in its Hibernation sleep state until I reactivated it. Well, that's no longer the case --it's waking up on its own more frequently, and for that reason is beginning to make me a bit suspicious. I should add here that my machine was attacked twice in the last week from an IP Address in China --my firewall intercepted it, and I did a search on the address and saw that a number of people here have been reporting and complaining about that same individual. So my question is this: to what extent does my firewall protect my machine when it's in Hibernation, and can it be woken up by a nosy guy in China that's trying to hack into peoples' machines here in the States?

When I wake up Laptop from hibernation or sleep or screen saver, IE and START button are non-responsive. I have to activate task manager and click "look for solution" which re-activates IE but makes me lose everything I was working on prior to sleep/hibernation or screensaver. Or I shut down manually using power button, then re-start/reboot. Have I programmed my PC incorrectly to sleep/hibernate or is it intrinsic VISTA prob?

Anyone know if its possible and if so how to prevent Vista from keeping the message balloon of "Automatic Updates is off" from popping up?, each time I reboot after a few minutes this pops up and its irritating me, I don't have automatic updates on as I choose when to go and check for any, but this message will insist on popping up to remind me, but I'm not daft and would like it to know if its possible to stop it

for the longest time I wasn't able to get any of my computers to go into sleep mode. Now that I've found the answer sifting through these forums/posts and it is functioning now, I've developed another problem that I cannot see anywhere in the forums. Although the computers will sleep now, I HAVE to set "Automatic" sleep mode for around 5 mins, otherwise it WILL NOT WORK. I cannot get them to sleep using the sleep buttons or any other way that the system has been set up for sleep. Only the "Automatic" timing way, and it has to be set for 5 mins or less. Can someone explain to me what may be happening here?

I have Vista Home Premium. SP1 doesn't show up on automatic updates, and I can't find it to download manually? I read here that it was available yesterday.

My computer will shutdown improperly during the night. I thought it was the automatic updates, but I checked the update center and it says nothing has been done. Sometimes, when it is sleeping and I try to start it back up, it will also shutdown for no apparent reason.

I keep getting reminded by the automatic updating that I have updates. Many of them lately have been for Office which I don't have. How do I get rid of these from the list of updates? They don't go away.

I used to have Vista Home Basic on my computer. I have a Logitech mouse that came with software, and it displayed a Logitech Mouse and Keyboard icon in the system tray. You could adjust mouse settings, and it told you when your wireless mouse's batteries were dying. So I got a new hard drive and a version of Vista Home Premium. Installed Vista and all of my programs, including the Logitech software. Now when I login I get the message that Windows wants to run setpointupdate.exe and I have to click Allow or Cancel. I never got this message with Vista Home Basic.
I've already Googled setpointupdate.exe and read many posts (including one on this site) saying that you have to go into your Logitech settings and disable automatic updates (tried that, didn't work), or that you had to uninstall your Logitech software all-together. But I want the software - I never change my mouse settings, but I like that the system tray icon warns me when the batteries are dying. Yes, I could uninstall the software and figure out on my own that the batteries are dying (by my mouse stopping working), but why should I have to uninstall this Logitech software? Isn't there a way to tell Windows that setpointupdate.exe is ok to run and that I don't have to click Allow EVERY time I login?

I'm using vista 64 for the last 2 months and it worked quite good in general. Yesterday after downloading some automatic updates (and i don't think this was the cause for what i specify next...) the system started working very slow, with sudden freezes, slow reaction to clicks on icons, starting programs etc. Another annoying issue that the system started booting very slow: after the green marker which shows after booting, there's a very long stop before i get the log on window. What's really strange is that i don't see the harddrive working in this time...it seems like freeze, like the one happens when the windows is up and running.
My system is intel quad q6600 cpu, 4gb 800 mhz memory,gigabye dq6 680i motherboard,and new hitachi sata2 hardrives. Does it sounds more like hardware problem? (till yesterday all was good!)or more like windows problem? (i have a backup of the system from 2 months ago,right after i installed the system, but no more backups and restore points....)

I have some Vista Business users running with Limited accounts so that they can't install programs with the admin password. MS Automatic Update service seems to be running as Administrator so those patches get applied seemlessly and without my user having to call me to apply them. But I would truely love the ability to allow for Firefox and Adobe Reader to update themselves as well? Is this possible? I just can't keep up with all those updates on those two program for everyone here at work. Hey, I wonder if Google Updater can update these apps seemlessly: Ummm... I guess this runs as a System Account. I'll give this a shot and see. Otherwise any other suggestions are welcome. Overall though, I'd like to see how to define a specific program (well understanding the security ramifications) to install it as admin automatically.

I would like to put my wireless mouse in inactive mode during sleep mode. As it is an mouse movement, usually accidental, wakes up the computer. I looked for a way but couldn't find this facility.

Desktop PC will be one year next month. I did not renew the Microsoft Office after trial period that came as a package w/ no future intention of acquiring it. I'm using the free Open Office program - word processing mostly at this time. Is there anything in the list below that is of importance? I only have a basic PC with DVD player for movies, etc. No scanner, printer or fax. Not even external hard drive or usb flash drive. Otherwise, I understand that I can just choose to hide the updates, so it will not keep reminding me. Also, I choose to keep my OS w/ Srvce pk 1 and MS IE version 7 for as long as I'll be able to. I had too many probs with Srvce pk 2 and MS IE version 8. Your opinion, if any, is welcome.......

I have a new HP Pavilion dv-4 laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 bit. When I try to
restart from hibernating, I receive a fatal error message the computer can't come out
of hibernation. I tried to disable hibernation and delete the hiberfil.sys file through the Disk Cleanup application. After it was run, the Hibernate option disappeared from
the shutdown menu but hyberfil.sys was not deleted. I deleted hiberfil.sys from
the command prompt and then ran powercfg -h on which recreated hiberfil.sys and restored Hibernate to the shut-down menu - but it still fails when I try to come out of hibernation. I have RollBack RX installed on the system and I wonder if this is causing the problem.

Was having a strange network problem after computer woke from hibernation; it did not happen before Service Pack 1 and never happened with XP. The problem was the internet connection would time out, partially load pages, and generally stumble & fail after resuming from sleep or hibernation. I went into Task Manager and grabbed this screenshot of the network throughput:
The green is throughput, it goes from 100% to 0%, it is apparent the computer was turning the connection "on" and "off" at regular intervals.
My network card is an Intel Pro 100/1000 built into my Abit IC7-G motherboard.
The problem was apparently the sleep mode setting on the card itself; there were no settings available for sleep mode, etc on the card using the default Vista drivers, but after installing the updated/specific drivers from Abit I was able to go into the Device Manager and there was another properties page (with Intel logo) that allowed me to disable sleep mode for the network card. That seems to have fixed it, I have not had the problem again in over a week.

On my previous Vista HP computer, after not using the bubbles screensaver, I was able to use the hibernate function. On this new computer I cannot get hibernate to to work. I set it for no screen saver and there are no different programs running, so why am I not able to get hibernate to work? I have the power features set for hibernate but when I click the Sleep it only goes to sleep for a minute or so and then the blue light is back on.

Ever since getting the Hibernation feature functioning on my machine about a month ago I've noticed a very peculiar problem with the machine waking up on its own, usually when I'm not around, and I need to know how to stop it. It usually happens after the PC has been powered down for several hours. Today I had put it into Hibernation and then went out, and several hours later when I got home the thing was on, apparently having turned on by itself.

Windows Vista home premium with SP2 and later fixes installed. No apparent malware detected by Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebyte, spybot. Hibernation is turned on. Checked all devices to ensure none have the "wake on" feature activated. When I select hibernate, the screen goes black for a few seconds then the logon menu is presented. Hibernation never occurs.

You know how when you go to your shut down settings on the menu bar, they say sleep, shut down, and hibernate? Yeah, well, my hibernate button disappeared. How do I get it back?

I was going to do use Disk Cleanup to clear some of the clutter from my computer but was not sure what all to put a check mark on. There was one file in particular "Hibernation File Cleaner" that had 3.24GB of stuff in it. What is that folder, why is it storing so much stuff in it, and is it safe to "Clean" it?

I'm completely confused on this issue and I've baffled people at Dell, which from experience isn't hard to do. I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 with Vista Home Basic as the OS. My CPU usage bumps between 10% and 44% after I first start up my computer. And when I allow my computer to sleep and then wake it up, it runs at 100% constantly. I've tried stopping programs from running in MSCONFIG, I've ran Ad-Aware 2007, Spyware, Registry Cleaner and McAfee Virus scan. Nothing has corrected this problem and the programs have cleaned off a few items, but still nothing has changed. I tried checking the Reliability and Performance Monitor and I'm not educated enough in computers to know what I'm looking at. Dell thinks I should reinstall my OS and start over, but I don't want to do this unless it's the last possible recourse.

A while back, I had a power failure. My machine is on a UPS and when the battery got low, it started to hibernate. I think the UPS must have failed all the way before the hibernation finished. I don't know this for sure because I was away from my computer when this happened. When I got back and powered up the machine, it would start to come out of hibernation and then freeze. I found out how to delete the hibernation data so that the computer would start normally, but ever since then the computer will freeze after it's been running for about 45 minutes or so. It's hard to say for sure because it will run fine as long as it's busy doing something, but if I let it sit idle, it will freeze after awhile. I've looked in the event viewer after restarting, but I don't see anything except routine messages. Is there some specific place I can look to figure out what's happening? I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 on an ASUS A8V Deluxe w/ an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ and 2 GB of memory.

Very often, my computer will restart during hibernation. Occasionally, after the restart it will give me an error message to the effect of "Windows had to shut down unexpectedly...". Very occasionally, it will tell me it was a hard drive error associated with hibernation.

My computer used to go to sleep but recently I've changed some settings and downloaded some new things and now everytime it goes to sleep it immediately wakes back up. Last night when it did hibernate I could not get the computer to come back on. I had to take the battery out of my laptop and put it back in to get it to start. The only way I can get my computer to hibernate now is to lock my computer first. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I turned off the sidebar, and have closed all programs and that doesn't help. There was something I found online last night about the network card and now allowing it to wake the computer. That's already been done (sorry I'm not a computer person lol this probably makes no sense to you).
