I have a leno laptop that is having a hibernation problem. The machine is part of an assbemly line in our company. It is attached to Active Directory and has some minor group policy settings. We currently have the machine do an autologin bused out of the registry. I have five units all together and one will hibernate and the resto do not. I have checked the settings and hibernation is off.any ideas what I may be missing. When the unit is brought out of hibernation the user has to logon again and they are not given the password. Thanks for any advise.

You need to remove the Option to request Logging In after the Screen Saver starts.

To do this Right Click on any unused part of the Desktop and left click on Proprieties in the drop down menu that appears. Select the Screen Saver Tan and left click on that then left click on the Power Settings in the lower panel of the window that opens and the left click on the Advanced tab.

Remove the Tick from the Box beside prompt for password when computer resumes from standby.

Click OK and then OK again till this window closes and you have the desktop present and that should be all thats required here.
