Setting Auto Suspend in the BIOS

If you would like your computer to automatically go into Suspend mode after a long period of inactivity, you can enable the Auto Suspend feature. With Auto Suspend enabled, the computer will automatically re-suspend itself after it is awakened by an application.

To enable the Auto Suspend feature:

1Reboot your computer by shutting down and restarting it.

2When you see a blue screen with an HP logo, press the F1 key on the keyboard; this starts the BIOS Setup program.

3Press to go to the Power menu.

4Press to go to the Power Savings category.

5Press to choose the Auto Suspend Timeout option, then press Enter.

6Press the F10 key on the keyboard to save the setting, then press Enter.

Note: Some third party software and hardware may experience problems with Suspend.
