Sleep is a power saving or low power consumption state commonly known as Stand-by.
In Hybrid Sleep mode, system saves any open documents and programs to memory and to your hard disk, and then puts your computer into a low-power state as in normal Sleep/Standby state. An advantage of hybrid sleep is that if a power failure occurs, Windows can restore your work from your hard disk.

My laptop is connected to power (not on battery).
Ok, try unchecking the two middle settings:
“Do not start the scan if running on batteries”
“Pause the scan if batteries mode begins”
I know that you are on power, but it worked for dagrev…maybe it will work for you.
Make no sense… The settings must do what they’re written to do…
I’ll try the non sense though…
The nonsense does NOT work… Thanks God it’s a bug and not a nonsense…
I am not sure then…it seems to work as described for me, though I never use it. rarely scan as it is…
I haven’t tried it on my netbook yet, will check it out and get back.
I had to uncheck these for some reason on my laptop, though it is always plugged in (battery in or out at times). Something seems a little off.
OK tried it and it failed in both tests in my netbook with win7 starter. That was with both the battery option enabled in the first test and disabled in the second. But again that may well be down to my settings in win7 as after sleep it is locked and I have to click the user name button to unlock it. At that point I’m presented with the scheduled scan pop-up which at that point hasn’t started.
So I will have to see if I can find where to change the sleep settings so that it doesn’t come out of sleep locked and run the tests again.
Mine wakes up locked as well and it works.
In my case, it woke up to a black screen. Move the mouse and it is locked, with the login screen. If I login during the scan, it seems that the GUI doesn’t show the scan, then once it is completed, it shows up as being completed.
Are mine the only systems that it works on? ???
Nada, failed both tests again in my win7 starter netbook, after I found how to disable the locked (e.g. don’t ask for password).
I reran the tests first with both battery options on and then with them off. On both tests a waited long after the schedule should have started, there was no hard disk activity light on and it was still in sleep mode.
When I brought it out of sleep mode and only then was I presented with the avast scheduled scan pop-up after a short period with this displayed did the scheduled scan start. FAILED.
Seems so ;D

Shame…it’s wasted on me…I rarely scan…
Hello. My computer is not waking up to do a scheduled overnight scan. Can someone please tell me how to fix this? Thanks.
Well on my comp it works with both settings (checked/unchecked) ???
I set hybrid-sleep enabled, need password to unlock.
My comp woke up a little faster than the scheduled time.
It seems to be working on mine. You can’t set the time real close to actual time as it wakes up the computer one minute before the actual set scan time. At that time the scan begins.
Hopefully this will be addressed in 6.0!
My turn…All I do is “schedule” a scan to run at a set time. My laptop will “wake-up” from “sleep” run a scan then it will go back to sleep. An idea would be to “re-run” the set-up file click on “repair” and then see if it works. Who knows, it just might work. I say this because I do not have this problem.
