Microsoft "Surface" users have been doing this in droves. and turn all the "Hello" settings to "off". If you have the recent "Anniversary Update" installed, you might also want to turn off "Windows Hello" (it's facial recognition login feature) - go to Windows 10 Start Menu > Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options > Windows Hello. That's the program/app that would have come with a Windows 8/8.1 laptop. You can look in the Control Panel's "Programs & Features" and uninstall any "Intel Wake on Voice" program (or app) if you see one. (Right now, your sound card is not going to sleep, in case you need it to wake it up when you say "wake up, dumb computer"). By turning that off, it should allow your sound to go to sleep like the rest of your computer, and stop draining your battery while sleeping. If you don't want or need to wake your computer by talking to it, you can very nicely do without the Intel Smart Sound nonsense. Since this is a fairly new technology, it is likely experiencing "growing pains". but Microsoft's new "Hello" technology wants us to wake up our computers by talking to them, sign in by putting our faces close to the screen (or swiping our fingerprint).etc. I don't much need/want/care-about voice activation of things. It appears that "Intel Smart Sound" is causing battery drain, even though it was designed to limit battery drain. Intel Smart Sound, Wake on Voice, & Windows Hello I agree with you that it seems that your Intel wireless, your USB controller, and your sound card are causing some of the drain. This seems to be a bit different from one computer to the other.I had never seen that Dell "Sleep Study" before. Please find your way to "allow hybrid sleep" yourselves. You can even hear the difference when it kills the cooling system. I set both on "on", saved the changes and tried activly to put my laptop to sleep. This was on "off" for both Battery and cable. So: What solved it for me: In the energy saving options, in advanced there is erngy saving and then the term " allow hybrid sleep" or in German (where I come from) "Hybriden Standbymodus zulassen". Also with me it used to go to sleep correctly and since a few days/weeks it does a hard shut down instead, just kills everything and apologyses for doing so after a long reboot. And finally I found the one solution that helped me with my brand new Lenovo Yoga 500 with Win10 Upgrade from Win8. I have been surfing through the various forums on this topic "Shutdown instead of sleep mode". Sorry, I just saw that the fellow upstairs also found the same solution. If that didn't work then I suggest the BIOS update as mentioned in the above posts. It might've been that when I bought it brand new just recently, settings were not optimized (accidentally?)Īnyways just a heads up for those experiencing this same problem and came across this forum. I put my computer to sleep right after and it worked as it obviously should have. Turn both settings ON and click OK or APPLY. It was at this moment I figured out that the hybrid sleep settings for both balanced AND power saver were turned OFF, which was ridiculous. Scroll down until you find "Sleep" and expand > Allow hybrid sleep (expand) Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Power Options > Change plan settings (for either Balanced and Power saver, whatever you're on currently) > Change advanced power settings > there will be a power options pop up. Thankfully I managed to solve it by myself through a bit of tweaking. As a fellow Asus user ROG G551JW, I had this exact same problem which was A MASSIVE PAIN.
