NUC 11 PAHi7 wont wake after sleep/display off - install latest driver?

[james321]

The above problem has been verified to be introduced with graphics driver 30.0.101.1191.

To hopefully rectify this, I am now wanting to install the latest driver: Intel® Graphics Driver 30.0.101.1631.

From the product page, it appears this driver (..1631) is compatible with the 11 PAHi7, however it does state requirements to be:
"Codename Tiger Lake, Rocket Lake, Tiger Lake-H)(1909+)"

My question is, is the 30.0.101.1631 driver compatible with my NUC NUC 11 PAHi7 running 1165 processor? Because I believe my NUC code name to be Panther Canyon  (not one of the above listed names).
Thank you

Panther Canyon is the family name for the NUC11PAxxx NUCs. This has nothing to do with Processor architecture. The NUC11PAxxx NUCs have Tiger Lake processors, which are supported by this latest driver package.

Thank you n_scott_pearson

As with graphics driver 30.0.101.1191, driver 30.0.101.1631 does not allow the NUC to wake from sleep/screen off.

So I have rolled back to 27.20.100.9415 and problem fixed.

Any insight as to why this issue may be occurring on the newer drivers?

Running Win 10 21H2
Intel® Driver & Support Assistant states all Intel drivers up to date  (although that is a misnomer as the Graphic driver is not up to date).

I have also tried disabling  PCIe ASPM Support in BIOS

Hello @james321

Thank you for posting on the Intel️® communities.  

We are glad to hear that your issue is solved after doing a rollback of the driver.

However, I want to ask for a report using the Intel System Support Utility (Intel SSU)  

• Download the Intel SSU (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18377/25293/intel-system-support-utility-for-windows.html)

• Open the application and click on "Scan" to see the system and device information. By default, Intel SSU will take you to the "Summary View." 

• Click on the menu where it says: "Summary" to change it to "Detailed View." 

To save your scan: click on "Next"; then "Save."

I have a NUC11PAHi5 that I purchased and configured last week. I had installed the latest graphics driver 30.0.101.1191. I experienced the same problems as described by james321. If I left the unit for a length of time, so that the display switched off, then the unit would not respond to keyboard and mouse. I also could not access using the remote desktop.

After power cycling the unit the windows event log was read:
There was an entry stating "The previous system shutdown was unexpected". The date and time given was earlier than the time I power cycled, but several minutes after the event log reporting that "The system is entering connected standby, Reason: Idle Timeout." This indicates that the system completely crashed some time after entering connected standby (and turned off the screen).

After reading this thread I downgraded the graphics driver to 27.20.100.9466. The system has successfully come out of sleep / screen off since.

A detailed report from Intel SSU is attached.

Hello james321

Thanks for waiting for a response.

After some effort and discussing your issue, my recommendations are the following:

You can wait for a newer BIOS version for your unit; we are working to solve some issues. However, we have no ETA time to provide.

Process the Replace/refund for your unit under warranty, and directly contact Intel Customer Support to initiate the RMA process (you cannot do this through the forums). Here are pages where you can look up contact information, including local/country phone numbers, by geography: 

U.S. and Canada: Intel Customer Support

Thank you for your reply Jean.

I will consider the options as you have stated.  Meanwhile, would you envisage a new BIOS version to fix this problem?

I tried to raise a new question and attach the SSU report, but it appears that has resulted in my question being flagged as Spam. I have alerted the moderators to the spam flag, so hopefully this flag can be removed from my question, so it will appear on the forum?

I am surprised that the suggestions on this thread are to either return the NUC, or wait for a new BIOS, when both James321 and I have reported that the NUC works with graphics driver version 27, but not with graphics driver version 30.

Hello james321,

Thanks for your response.

Regarding your question, we are working on some fixes on the command BIOS Update for your unit, and we expect the BIOS update to solve the problem. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the BIOS update will solve the issue you are experiencing.
