    Hey all, something I have been noticing lately is when I put my laptop into "sleep mode", I will open the lid and press a button to start it again, and it will say "Windows has been shut down wrong" or something along those lines, and it is very annoying because Sleep Mode is my best friend, I just want a way to fix this.

    Check in the event logs to see what errors or warnings are being logged when this happens, follow the MS link to see if that provides any useful help, and then google on the specific error(s) to see what comes up.
