Boot Camp Win 10 wake problems on Macbook Pro

Here's what worked for me...

(Apple OS X 10.12 Sierra, Bootcamp, & Windows 10 Pro 64-bit)

1. Made sure Bootcamp's start-up disc was set identically through both the Mac Bootcamp manager application as well as the Windows Bootcamp Control Panel. I set mine to Windows on both platform.
2. The Windows platform clock needs to be reset. Follow the instructions in this Microsoft forum post:

Microsoft Community See the 2nd post from Senator949 on August 13, 2015, beginning with "And the fix is:"

Instructions are reproduced here in case the links/threads get messed up over time.

1. Open a Commnad Prompt window

(Run as Administrator by right-clicking on the executable)

and enter the following command:

C:\WINDOWS\system32> bcdedit /set

useplatformclock true

2. Verify that useplatformclock is on/true. (Run the following below and check that the result is listed as useplatformclock Yes)

C:\WINDOWS\system32>bcdedit/enum

Screen returns the following. Scroll to the lower section and confirm useplatformclock Yes

Windows Boot Manager

Windows Boot Loader

...

useplatformclock Yes

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

3. Restart the computer then test the SLEEP function.

I installed new AMD display drivers specifically for Boot Camp and it appears to have resolved the issue.

Try installing the latest version (15.201 as of this post) from this URL:

Hi hzonhzon,

I reinstalled ATI Drivers from the link, survived for one day and the problem arose again. However, I can wake up my MacBook Pro after going to sleep. I also did an SMC and a PRAM reset. The computer goes to sleep after about an hour, which used to go to sleep between 20 - 50 minutes. The startup disk has been set to "Mac OSX" in both partitions.

Here's a screenshot of advanced power options:

Is this an issue with Windows 10?

I spoke to soon. The technique I outlined didn't help. My MBP is again not able to wake up from sleep. :-(

The outlined method may have worked for 2011 Macs (even though it makes no difference what your startup disk is set to, to enable sleep/wake). I suggest you try a SMC Reset/NVRAM Reset to see if it helps.

Sleep/Wake is driven by events which the hardware/firmware propagate to the OS. If OS ignores them, there is not much that can be done. W7 (and W8) Wake/Sleep are very buggy with various vendors implementing their own solutions on PCs. You can check the Windows Event Viewer to see if the Windows Kernel acknowledges such events or not. W10 is much better, but may not be 100% perfect. If OS X wakes/sleeps properly on the same hardware, the issue is squarely at the OS door which is currently controlling the Mac, Windows in this case.

Hi!

Same Problem here...MacMini late2012...

Some Workaround out there?

Same problem here. The only difference is that I use windows more extensively for professional purposes.

A couple additional info if anyone can help. Apparently having your default startup disks on windows and mac os x causes some problems, but both point to my windows partition in my case. Also, my trackpad still clicks while in sleep mode, so force touch is still active. The only way I've found to restart my computer is to completely kill it by holding the power button and start over.

Windows 10 pro, upgraded from windows 8.1 pro

Bootcamp 6.0.

Latest versions of all of the above.

Has anyone found any solution for this? It renders the Macbook completely unsuable under Windows. I have not shut down my Macbook in months on OS X, always just shut the lid and it went to sleep. On Windows I have to close all my apps, shut it down and then boot it uo and open everything again EVERY single time I would normally just shut the lid (which is approx. 50 times per day). It's like having to jump-start your car every single time you want to use it. Absolutely unusable... :-(

This problem on my mid-2015 retina MacBook Pro (with AMD R9 M370X Graphiscs) bothers me almost a month. I've called apple support twice and the only thing they can tell is to download the Bootcamp software again form you Bootcamp assistant and reinstall it on your windows. But it's useless. When I called Apple again, they told me that they will record this problem and contact with Microsoft or some Apple department. They thought a graphics driver update may fix this problem. But Apple didn't tell me when. I've registered Cortana and used Microsoft Account as peterthegreat657 did, it's useless too. If your want to avoid this issue, please turn off the auto-sleep mode on your Windows 10 until they fix this problem. P.S. This problem may cause another: when your MacBook Pro is sleeping, it will be very hot too.

The solution that worked for me is outlined here: http://superuser.com/a/935891/75790

In essence, the Startup Disk must be specified in both Bootcamp and Mac OSX. I found that in my case, the Startup Disk was specified in Bootcamp but not in Mac OSX. Once I picked a startup disk in Mac OSX, my Windows 10 was able to wake up from sleep.

Hi, try the following:

If you're using Mac OS X and want to switch to Windows, do not restart. Instead, shut down and leave the laptop for about 15 minutes to cool. Then boot Windows 10.

Also, keep a fan close to the laptop for extra cooling.

I tried these for one day. Hope this is a fix.

After successfully installing Windows 10 on my new MacBook Pro I had the wake-up problem as well.

For me personally the best explanation of the issue was in this post: http://www.macwindows.com/Thunderbolt-Limitations-of-Mac-running-Windows-and-get ting-around-them.html

After I disconnected the thunderbolt-ethernet interface and the external USB drive, the problem was gone.

While there might be several causes for the problem, at least this one was spot on in my situation. Apparently Windows can only recognise thunderbolt interfaces during startup and not after a wake-up. I've also noticed that the Mac gets warm in sleep mode (with thunderbolt interface connected), which seems strange. Since I do need my ethernet connection, the only workaround seems to disable sleep mode completely.

Wow setting the same Startup Disk (to Bootcamp Win10) in both OSX and Win10 fixed my Win10 sleep but cannot wake (black screen) issue. Now that I recall this probably started when I changed the default startup disk in one place but didn't set the same in the other.

I have mid 2015 MBP with Radeon M370X.

After trying the fix above then testing over the past day I haven't had any sleep-wake issue yet. Tried manually putting Win10 to sleep then wake, also closing the lid then wake, also leaving it overnight before waking all had no issues. Fingers crossed that fixed it.

FYI The solution johnnyo5 posted is outlined here: http://superuser.com/a/935891/75790

Same problem here. In addition entirely the same spec. MBPr mid 2015, Yosemite, Windows 10 Pro... have u found any solution?

It fixed itself for me after I registered Cortana and switched my account over to an official Microsoft Account. No idea why...
