Grrr Windows no I don't want a MS account.

Just found out with the latest build of home if you turn on the WiFi or have a network when installing windows home It won't give you an option for using a local account.

So I have to redo the install which has now corrupted and I'll have redo the usb.

I'm tempted to give up on this old laptop/net book just too much hassle. I was only reinstalling as the laptop won't wake the screen from sleep in the past few Windows 10 builds.

I dunno every build seems to get more bloated then the last.

I couldn't get past it. I'll try again today.

Got it reinstalled. I

Yes it will. You just have to escape out of the loop enough times until it gives up. However, quickest way is just to disable the WiFi

I ran out patience. I yanked out the USB to redo it and obvious corrupted something.
Re-imaged the USB then re did it with no network.
Its an old net netbook its such a pain it never goes smoothly. Perhaps because its an Atom CPU.
It then froze when installing the chipset drivers.
Had to force a restart, seems ok. Though its not fixed the problem I was trying to fix.

IN recent builds of Win10 it won't wake the screen from sleep if on battery.
If I plug the charger in, then it wakes the screen. Laptop isn't powering off, its exactly where I left it.
The work around I'm using its not to sleep or turn off for an hour when on battery.

As this is 11" laptop, (lenovo 100s) I'm generally only using it for some small task then turning it off anyway.
I might just get rid of it, don't really use it, including a 120s 14" Netbook which I prefer.

The 100s though is an old quad atom and its faster than the later celeron dual core in the 14".
The 14" is more compatible as its intel based.

The unable to wake from sleep is a weird one. It only became an issue with newer Win10 builds.

The sleep issue is related to fastboot and hybrid sleep. As a test, press and hold the shift key whilst clicking on shutdown (or restart). This bypasses hybrid sleep

I don't follow. What does that test?

I've turned off fast-boot and enabled hibernation. We'll see if that makes a difference.

I really dislike sleep, as you don't realise its in sleep mode and when you turn it back on a few days latter the latop has much less battery left. At least with true hybernation (not hybrid) Its actually off. But on a laptop like this with only 32GB disk space, I don't like to lose space to it

I generally turn off sleep and hibernate as I don't turn it off and on a lot. I have started to long press the off button to make sure it's off.

But my problem is not turning it off. It's walking the screen. The machine is not off only the screen is.
