Windows 10 fails to wake up from sleep after the Windows 10 April Update is installed

1: Run Troubleshooter

Let’s start this with the most basic troubleshooting step. Hard restart your PC 3 times to open the Recovery menu. Boot in Safe Mode and put your PC to sleep. In case everything works fine while in the Safe Mode, continue with other steps. Otherwise, we recommend going to a final step or disabling Sleep Mode for a while. When this error occurred during the previous iterations, it was strangely resolved on its own after some time.

2: Disable Hibernate mode

The concept behind Sleep mode and Hibernate mode is to, after the predetermined time, Hibernate mode replaces Sleep. If Hibernate mode is enabled, of course. On the other hand, Hibernation rather than Sleep can be the cause of the problem. In order to address this, we recommend disabling Hibernate mode until the further updates fix the error.

3: Check the drivers

Drivers are another usual culprit when it comes to post-update issues. Every major update changes the drivers as same as the system does after the clean reinstallation. Now, there are some drivers which should occupy your attention more than the others (GPU, monitor, chipset drivers), but we recommend reinstalling the drivers you deem changed. If it worked with the Creators Update, the driver version should work with the April Update as well. SPONSORED

You can check them out in the Device Manager. Right-click Start and open Device Manager from the Power User menu. Once there, try to roll back the aforementioned drivers. In addition, you can disable Power Saving option on the Network adapter and look for changes.

4: Reset your PC or Roll Back to Creators Update

Finally, if the previous steps fell short, the only viable options concern recovery. You can either roll back Windows 10 to the previous release or reset your PC to factory settings. One way or another, the sleep mode issue which emerged after the April Update should be dealt with.
