Hibernating immediately after waking from hibernation

alexzv · Jun 8, 2010

Hi There,

Vista takes some time to wake from hibernation (2-3 minutes, before my wireless network is detected and browser is usable, say). To not waste my time staring at the screen, I hit the power button, leave the computer, and come back when all systems are running.

However, by the time I've returned in maybe 5 mins, the laptop (Thinkpad T61) is back in hibernation mode. It seems like without any keyboard or trackpad input, the computer simply returns to hibernate.

Any suggestions on how to configure Vista to remain on without this keyboard input? I don't see any options in my power settings (in advanced as well). I also don't require a password upon wakeup, so I can go directly to my desktop.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello Alex, and welcome to Vista Forums.

This can help show you how to set the return to sleep/hibernate timeout period for a unattended wake up. Setting the time to 3-4 minutes or so should be able to give you the time you need.

Hope this helps,
