Sometimes I find a monitor doesn't fully wake out of sleep and I need to cycle the start button. I've checked BIOS, drivers, etc. This happens on at least 10 computers of mixed builds and prebuilts. There is a Windows keyboard command I used to use but I've managed to forget it which causes the monitor to be forced awake. I'm having trouble finding it because my google fu sucks. It was either a 2 or 3 key combo that caused the monitor to awake to the login screen.


Cheers and happy new year.

Are you saying that the problem is that the monitor is staying in sleep mode while the rest of your pc wakes up correctly?
Or are you saying that you have trouble waking your pc from sleep?
