This article describes an issue that occurs when you resume a laptop that is running Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, or Windows Server 2012 R2 from hybrid shutdown. A hotfix is available to resolve this issue. The hotfix has a prerequisite.

Symptoms

Assume that you have hybrid shutdown enabled on a laptop. When you initialize the shutdown operation, before the shutdown operation is complete, you also do something else, such as closing the lid that makes the computer enter into sleep state. After you resume the computer from sleep state, the shutdown operation will continue, and the system enters into hybrid shutdown state. After you resume the laptop from this hybrid shutdown state, you may see a black screen, and you cannot log on to the system.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, install the hotfix that is described in this article together with the April 2015 win32k.sys package (3042216).

Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 file information and notes

Important Windows 8.1 hotfixes and Windows Server 2012 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:
