Power Management Settings

Correct Answer: Check the power setting configuration for sleep timer settings

Checking and configuring the sleep timer settings in the power setting area will allow the user to set the appropriate period of inactivity before sleep mode is activated.

Correct Answer: Reduce processor state and enable active cooling

Reducing the processor state will lower the CPU frequency and voltage, which reduces heat generation. Enabling active cooling, such as increasing the fan speed, helps dissipate heat more effectively. Together, these settings can help prevent overheating. The other options may actually worsen the issue: disabling sleep mode keeps the laptop running continuously, increasing screen brightness consumes more power and generates more heat, and increasing the processor state raises the CPU frequency and voltage, producing more heat.

Correct Answer: Check for a lid-open action and enable it if necessary

The best answer is to check for a lid-open action and enable it if necessary. This directly addresses the issue of the laptop not waking up when the lid is lifted. Most laptops have a power management setting that controls what action is taken when the lid is opened. If this setting is not enabled or configured correctly, the laptop may not wake up automatically. The other answers, while related to power management, do not specifically address the lid-open behavior. High-performance mode, sleep timers, hibernation, and USB selective suspend are separate settings that would not typically impact the wake-on-lid-open functionality.
