If your network connection lost when Windows 8 goes to sleep or hibernate mode, then this article will show you how to fix it.
Windows has the capabilities to turn off a device when going to sleep mode, in order to save energy. The setting to save energy is embedded in the device properties by its manufacturer. Few day back, we have seen that on some computers running Windows 8or later, when the system goes to sleep or hibernate mode, the network connectivity is lost. And when the computer is waked up, system regains the lost connectivity.
During this transition period, if you’re having a download progressing in the background, it would not work since network connectivity was lost. If it has pause and resumesupport, then when system wakes up, it will proceed from the point where it was stopped. But if it doesn’t has pause and resume support, the download will be restarted when system regains connectivity, which is odd. So if you want that the network connectivity shouldn’t be lost when system goes to sleep or hibernate mode, then you can try these simple steps to fix it:
