It happens with many of us that we have to put our Windows system into sleep mode sometimes so that when we instantly need the system, we can use it up without losing the time required for booting it. But sometimes, Windows will not Sleep. If Windows 8.1 refuses to sleep or won’t go in sleep mode, then this post will show you how to fix the Sleep Mode not working problem
Recently, we have seen how to enable or disable password requirement at wake up. After upgrading my one of system running Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, I have found that the sleep functionality is no longer working on that system. It seems like the policy of sleep working for Windows 8 is not adopted by the upgraded Windows 8.1, and it caused the trouble.
Although I prefer a fresh install, sometimes we need to go in for an upgrade – and this can cause issues sometimes. Well, in order to fix this issue, we need to make correction to power configuration of this system settings.
