I , at first was not sure if it was actually defragmenting or that it had frozen to this screen.
But now on this page, i see yall saying the same thing. I just wonder how long it will take until its done defragmenting. Its been going for 3 hours now.

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Supported Sleep States

Sleep states allow the computer to enter low-power modes after a period of inactivity. The S3 sleep state is the default sleep state for Windows platforms. The S3 sleep state consumes only enough power to preserve memory contents and allow the computer to resume working quickly. Very few platforms support the S1 or S2 Sleep states.

S1 Sleep Supported true
S2 Sleep Supported false
S3 Sleep Supported true
S4 Sleep Supported true

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Adaptive Display Brightness is supported.

With more recent versions of WordPress you get to choose your admin username when you’re installing. They don’t however allow changing of username’s from the admin panel so the 3rd point is still valid.

Other than that, certainly steps 1 and 2 are advisable no matter what version of WP you’re on.

Since this article has been written though there are lots of new ways to improve your security.

Things like http://www.wordfence.com/ are serious security plugins to help keep things safe.

There’s also a lot of good advice on the WordPress Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress

Hope that helps!

The article is quite old. If you are still checking in on this blog, does it still work on WordPress 3.5 or is it still even needed?

I’m encountering a similar though not identiical problem: my laptop frequently (not always, and I can’t find a trend for when it does) fails to go to sleep on command. Instead it lingers in a sort of dazed state until it shuts off. Upon start up it says that it has recovered from an unexpected shutdown. I ran the power reuests you suggested and find that it is Realtek audio that is the offender – though it is disabled.
Some insight into this problem would be appreciated as having to reboot every time I close the lid is getting tiresome and makes the whole concept of sleep or hibernate redundant.
Thanks
(p.s. a direct email would be appreciated)

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the powercfg commands you mentioned didn’t help. I think I’ll just have to shut down my laptop when if I connect to my VPN..

Best,
Sean
