Microsoft Windows 10 does not come out of sleep

Since I upgraded to Microsoft 10 from 7, my PC will not come out of sleep after being away for as little as 15 minutes. I need to hard shut it down and start it again. I saw other answers about «bios» and other esoteric stuff but in reality this should not happen and Microsoft should send an update that fixes this. This never happened in any other upgrade so this should have never happened and needs to be fixed. Can we as a community put pressure on Microsoft to fix this fault in Microsoft 10?

Does windows 10 come out

Question

To come out from S Mode in Windows 10, we generally download an app Switch out of S Mode from Windows Store.

In most cases, I found it works fine but in some cases Windows Store doesn’t allow to download the app without Microsoft Account.

Please let me know an alternate way for such scenarios.

All replies

There is no way to bypass Stores for leaving S mode.

To leave S Mode, open the Store app on your PC and search for “Switch out of S Mode.” The Store will guide you through taking your PC out of S Mode.

For some enterprise users, we could use Intune to switch out of S Mode.

Upgrade Windows 10 editions or switch out of S mode on devices using Microsoft Intune

I already did it. Previously, to come out from S Mode, I downloaded Switch out of S Mode from store and it worked fine.

Now I noticed changes. Previously, I was able to download Switch out of S Mode from store without sign in or without having Microsoft account but now it’s not allowing to download from store without sign in Microsoft account.

If anyone has Microsoft account, there is no issue but if anyone doesn’t have Microsoft account, first of all he has to create a Microsoft account. This is the problem and that’s why I was asking for alternative for coming out S Mode.

What is your Windows 10 version now? And also what is y our previous system version where you can download switch out of S Mode from store without having Microsoft account?

Hi all. I have got in at the moment a Lenovo S130-14IGM that has/ had Windows 10 Home with S mode preinstalled. I attempted multiple times to go via the app to get S mode disabled without any joy whats so ever. However, I have found a way around it that does not involve logging onto microsoft app store. And its p**s easy. Boot to the UEFI BIOS ( hold shift when restarting) then disable the secure boot, clear keys and if enabled TPM- disable it, save, exit, boot to Windows and the S mode will be gone. Again boot back to the UEFI BIOS, and enable TPM ( if you disabled it) and secure boot, save and exit, back to Windows, job done.

I was really excited to see this answer. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work on some HP 15-dy1023dx laptops I’m trying to set up for Boys and Girls Club Student of The Year winners. Ironically, the app I can’t install because of this S-mode garbage is Office 2016. I don’t want to use an existing Microsoft account to disable it because I don’t want the students to end up in a situation where they need that password to do something — like install software they need for school. And I can’t create new accounts for the winners because I don’t have their personal email addresses.

This is truly awful and MS should rethink this. There are clearly many situations where S mode prevents users who OWN THEIR COMPUTER from doing what want to or need to with it.

When Does Windows 10 Come Out, How Can You Get It & What Happens to the Technical Preview?

Windows 10 is coming soon. Still confused about how the upgrade will work and wondering about the timeline? We have some answers, although more questions remain.

«So when does Windows 10 come out?» must have been one of the most asked questions since the Technical Preview was released in October last year. When Microsoft announced Windows 10 would be a free upgrade, people weren’t quite sure how exactly that would work. Meanwhile, testers have been wondering whether the preview will expire. Answers for all these questions are slowly becoming clearer.

Windows 10 Release Date

It was AMD CEO Lisa Su who leaked the information that Windows 10 is expected to be released in July 2015. While, a Microsoft programmer confirmed the leak to Gizmodo, Microsoft has yet to announce the launch date officially.

Meanwhile, at BUILD 2015, Microsoft’s corporate VP Joe Belfiore described the staggered rollout for Windows 10 as a «wave of benefit that starts in the summer and increases throughout the fall .» PCs will be the first to receive the «final release» of Windows 10, followed by Windows Phones, Xbox One, Arduino, and HoloLens.

Not all Windows 10 features will be available at launch, however. After all, Windows 10 is supposed to be Microsoft’s final major operating system release, which instead will see continuous updates and improvements. We have to retire the idea of a «final release candidate» because Windows 10 will never be done.

Free Windows 10 Upgrade

Microsoft is hoping for a wide adoption of Windows 10. By eliminating multiple versions of the operating system and uniting everything under one umbrella, they will increase brand identity, security, and ultimately their market. Since Windows 7 remains the most popular desktop operating system with a 58% market share, this is the prime audience for a Windows 10 upgrade .

Upgrading to Windows 10 will be free for one year following the release for users who own licenses of non-enterprise editions of Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1. The upgrade is being delivered through Windows Update. If you’re currently using an operating system that qualifies, you should be able to find the Windows 10 downloader, a recommended update named KB3035583, in your list of updates.

Download Windows 10

At this point, users can only download Technical preview builds via Windows Insider. Microsoft is expected to offer ISO file downloads, which will be free for users who own a valid license for Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. Details should be made available this summer.

Expiry Dates for the Technical Preview

Technical Preview Builds, now known as Insider Previews, will eventually expire. A Microsoft Support Engineer outlined the expiration dates for build numbers up to 10049. Two weeks prior, users will be reminded and asked to upgrade to a newer build. Once the license has expired, the system will automatically reboot every three hours. For Build 10049, that date is October 15, 2015. About two weeks after that date, the build will not even boot.

Users who missed to upgrade and can no longer boot into their Technical Preview will need to download ISO files on a separate computer, create Windows boot media, and run the installation.

Upgrading from the Technical Preview to Windows 10

When asked about this option, Gabe Aul replied on Twitter that it’s Microsoft’s intent to allow testers to upgrade directly from the Technical Preview. Aul first made this statement back in December and has repeated it several times since.

@JonRohrich No, our intent is to allow you to upgrade all the way to the final.

It’s unlikely that users of the Technical Preview will have to do a clean install, but it’s still a possibility. Even if users will be able to directly upgrade to the final version, testers might not get a free ride. They might still have to unlock the upgrade with the license of a qualifying Windows version.

Update: In a Twitter Q&A Gabe Aul clarified that Windows Insiders who are currently testing the Windows 10 Technical Preview will indeed need a qualifying Windows license in order to upgrade to the final version of Windows 10.

@ImXeeon It will be a free upgrade from a valid Win7 or 8.x license, within the first year of release.

If you are testing Windows 10 TP on a device that stores licensing information in the UEFI BIOS, you should automatically qualify. How this will work in various other scenarios, for example if you are dual booting the TP next to Windows 8.1, remains unclear.

Interestingly, the final version of Windows 10 will continue deliver updates to Windows Insiders first, before deploying them to a wider audience.

@RafaelMateusM Both. You’ll upgrade to final version, and have the option to stay there or to keep getting new builds as an Insider.

It will be interesting to see how this affects Patch Tuesday as it’s neither in Microsoft’s nor its users’ best interest to make security relevant updates public and at the same time delay their global implementation. Our guess is that only optional and feature updates will be made available for beta testing to Windows Insiders before a final release.

Downgrading to Your Old Windows Version

Microsoft will encourage users to upgrade their old Windows operating system to Windows 10. If you’re smart, you’ll try Windows 10 before committing to an upgrade because it’s easier to dual boot Windows 10 next to your old Windows, than to downgrade in case you don’t like Windows 10. Note that the option of installing a dual boot may expire once the final release of Windows 10 is out, so it’s best to try it now!

Downgrading will be difficult, but not impossible, provided you have prepared boot media (see link above) and know the product key of your old Windows version. Rather than removing the upgrade to Windows 10, you will probably need to re-install Windows 7 or 8, then opt out of the upgrade delivered through Windows Update.

Changing your mind will be rather inconvenient. That said, you’ll probably like Windows 10, so do give it a chance and try it now. You can even install Windows 10 on Linux or try it on a Mac.

Future Updates to Windows 10

As mentioned above, Windows 10 will be the final major release and in Microsoft’s perfect world, all other versions of Windows, at least for desktop devices and consumers, will disappear. Of course Windows 10 will still require security and other updates.

Updates will be deployed automatically, much like in Chrome or OS X. Version numbers will probably be under the hood and major upgrades may be identified with popular names. Mary J Foley reported that a 2016 upgrade is codenamed Redstone. This was recently confirmed by Microsoft designer Jeff Fong, who shared screenshots of the upgrade .

Any Questions Left?

Microsoft is trying to simplify things with Windows 10, applying a process which, for people who are used to the old ways, may seem complicated. It’s very straightforward, though. Windows 10 is Microsoft’s end game and it’s coming to a computer near you this summer. Will you be upgrading?
