Fix broken resume from suspend

October 11, 2015

I generally disable Intel RapidStart in your BIOS/UEFI to avoid problems resuming from sleep. RapidStart enables a deeper S4 sleep state, transitioning from an initial S3 state. However, this transition can be buggy.

If you find your PC not always able to resume from sleep/suspend, try disabling RapidStart. In addition and in general, disable hibernation as it confers no significant speed advantage over a usual boot on a modern SSD system.
