Windows 7 - laptop in sleep mode and can not log back in using ctrl-alt-del
Deployed Windows 7 Enterprise on 38HP Elite Laptops
Half of the users are mentioning:
Laptop is in sleep-mode, can't log back in with Ctrl-Alt-Del. Some have to select "new user" in order to login or shut down completely to log back in successfully.
Any ideas?

There may well be a special key that brings the laptop out of sleep. On my laptop it is the Fn key. Ctr-Alt-Del does nothing if my laptop is suspended. Sometime pressing the power button once and not for a long time will bring it back from sleep. Do not hold the power button down as that can force shutdown. ... Thinkpads_User
Make sure you have installed all the newest drivers for those PC's, and check their BIOS, there may be an update that addresses that issue.

Unless you have a non-certified machine, or bum drivers from the vendor, sleep in Windows 7 should work fine. I use daily and have done for a long time now. ... Thinkpads_User
