"Two things "shut down" does that restart doesn't: What I found in my initial search is interesting. Here's one thread discusiing its shortcomings.īeing ignorant of all this stuff, I wanted to know the difference between "restart" and powering down/up the pc. Googled it and found numerous issues with it. Specifically it's a Realtek rtl8188ee 802.11bgn wifi adapter. Just thought I'd post this in the hopes of possibly helping someone else.ĭid a little searching and found I have the Realtek RTL8188EE adapter. I do know this is a band-aid solution, however, for the time being, I'll take it. It appears something is hanging up when during restart, it attempts to make the connection with wifi. I installed Kubuntu a couple of weeks ago. I have now done this 3 times with Windows 10 and 2 times with Linux (Kubuntu 14.04). I then tapped the "wifi" key and it went from airplane mode to connected.
During the cycling, the orange airplane lamp illuminated followed seconds later by the orange "speakers off" lamp. Tonight, I went airplane mode and selected restart. If it was going to freeze, I would have only the orange lamp illuminated for Airplane Mode. This would be followed by the orange lamp (speakers off).
If the laptop was going to boot, the wifi lamp would go from no illumination, to orange (airplane mode) to blue (connected). I normally have the speakers off thus the orange lamp. I noticed on a hard boot I would have a sequence take place with my "WiFi/Airplane mode" indicator lamp and my speaker on/off lamp. Some things worked once or twice but mostly Restart would freeze. I would power down/up and all is well except for Restart. Restart would freeze at the HP logo screen. I don't recall using "restart" prior to upgrading to Windows 10. It came with Windows 8.1 upgradeable to 10. I purchased the basic HP 15-f033wm Notebook from Walmart in July 2015. Here's my restart story (posted in a HP forum thread) w/ a follow up (a bit lengthy): The above worked for me a time or two but that's about it.
