Now Windows 7RC change the way I log in after hibernation.
Greetings, This is an on going changes. Windows 7RC has worked almost flawless for about three weeks on this Toshiba Qosmio laptop. Last week it started losing the wireless connection after hibernation. Last Wednesday start little freeze ups. Coming out of the screen savers mode, nothing would work for about 30 seconds. Not the keyboard, not the pointer, nothing. I think this has gone away, I think. Now this Friday Windows changed the way I login back in after hibernation. Before I used my finger-print. Now it asks for my password. On the hibernation wake up thing, I have unchecked the power saver management and that didn't change anything. I also unchecked under Wireless Network Connection Properties, Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and that didn't have any effect. I have been told that a fix is coming, but I would think it is just for the wireless connection thing. I am not installing anything that I am aware of and have not noticed any Microsoft Updates either. Windows 7RC is work fine except for this wake up thing. W. Kirk Crawford Tularosa, New Mexico

If it cheers you up, the fault is surely not on your side. Hibernation/sleep is not exactly the strongest point of this RC, as you can verify by typing one of both in the search bar on this site.Mobile AMD64 3000+, VIA Apollo K8T800 chipset, 1 G RAM, ATIRadeonMobility 9700, 20x DVDRW, C:XPSP3 (55G),D:WIN7 (25G),F:DATA (250G)

Kirk, I'm sorry that you're experiencing these issues. Sanmartin is correct in that hibernation and sleep are bugged as of the RC, so the behavior you're currently experiencing - whether or not it's been worsened by a recent update - is unfortunately commonplace. I can suggest two temporary workarounds. First, do not select try to initiate Sleep from the start menu. Instead, select Switch Users. Then, from the power-down button on the login screenselect the "sleep" option. This has been shown to lessen some issues on returning from sleep. Further, most outstanding issues can be solved by restarting Windows Explorer. There are two methods of doing this without rebooting the computer outright. You can either log off of Windows and then immediately log back on, which will close all of your open programs, or you can end explorer.exe from the Task Manager and then restart it as a New Task.-Alex
