Resuming Computer from Suspend Mode Takes a Long Time

ID: Q232722

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you try to resume your computer from Suspend mode, your computer may take 30 seconds or more to resume.


CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you have a network adapter that is not attached to an active network connection.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, connect to an active network connection.

To work around this behavior, disable your network adapter:

  1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.


  2. Click the Device Manager tab, double-click the Network Adapters branch to expand it, and then click your network adapter.


  3. Click Properties, click to select the Disable in this hardware profile check box, click OK, click OK, and then click Yes to restart your computer.



MORE INFORMATION

When your computer enters Suspend mode, the drivers for your protocols are unloaded. When you try to resume your computer, Windows attempts to load the drivers for your protocols, and then bind them to the network adapter. If an active network connection is not found, a time out occurs and causes the delay.
