#Wake on mac for windows windows 10#
(Apple OS X 10.12 Sierra, Bootcamp, & Windows 10 Pro 64-bit) Any thoughts into this issue are very much welcome. I should note that I have only allowed the laptop to sleep while the lid is closed, so I cannot confirm if this happens with the lid open-however, I have Windows configured to not sleep if I close the lid on both power and battery. Each time, I have to completely reboot the machine by holding the power button to get back into it. Short of disabling sleep, which I don't want to do, I am out of ideas as to what could be causing it. I checked all input devices and all are set to wake the computer. None of these seem to wake the machine at all. Note that I have attempted using both the macbook's keyboard, a wireless keyboard with USB dongle and an apple wireless keyboard/magic trackpad. This also occurred when I had Windows 8.1 installed prior to cleanly installing Windows 10. I haven't paid too much attention to this, since I don't boot into Windows terribly often, but I noticed that if I allow my Macbook Pro to go to sleep while booted into Windows 10, I cannot wake it back up.
