Q: Boot Back Into Windows With Boot Camp

Hello,

I am running Boot Camp on a Mac Book Pro. It runs extremely well except for one issue. When the mac goes to sleep for a short time minutes to a few hours, and I click a button, the Windows screen is there ready to use. But, if it sleeps over night, I can not click a button to wake it, I have to click the power button and wait for the boot cycle again holding down the option button so I can choose the Windows drive again. Am I missing something is settings so no matter how long the system sleeps it will wake back into the last running operating system?

Thanks Jr

Can you check Power Options? Does this happen when connected to Power Adapter and on Battery, both?

These are for the OSX side. What do you see in Windows Control Panel?

Before you make any changes, would you mind if I tested my current settings (on W8.1/2012 13" MBP) overnight. I have done it in the past without any issues, but would like to retest again. I can share my test results in the morning.

Left the Mac overnight after a Sleep. This morning, plugged power adapter, TB Monitor, Ethernet, two USB connections for Keyboard/Mouse (optical mouse) and the machine woke up like normal, without any keys being touched. Can you repair BC drivers on the Windows side using Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support matrix for your specific Mac model, and test again.

Check on the hibernate settings by going to the advanced power options as posted by Loner T above. Look under the sleep heading, see pic.

While sleep puts your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk, and then turns off your computer.

It can be disabled. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920730

I left the Windows side sleeping for several more hours. Pressed the power button for about half a second, and the machine came back. The ACPI drivers may not be correctly installed in your case.

Hello,

Thank you very much for everyone's input. I did the update for the Bootcamp files as mentioned above and still same issue. Quick question, as I did download the BC update and should have made it version 5.1.5621, but when I try to view and verify version after, it still says 5.0? Is that correct or should it show the new version number?

I just disabled Hibernate to see if that helps. I will let you know.

Thanks Jr

The Bootcamp Assistant version is not the same as Bootcamp Drivers version.

This is the matrix for BC Drivers - Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support.

The version of BCA can be 5.0 or 5.1. Check Boot Camp Assistant -> About for the BCA version.

BC Drivers are installed on the Windows side and are independent of the BCA version..
