I do not have windows, but I suppose that the same would apply on windows. It seems to me indeed that when the computer is woken up, the operating system doesn't even have a clue (as I can see in the various logs in /var/log) that is gets started up from scratch instead of being woken up from S3 mode.
I upgraded my BIOS to A10 yesterday. The same exact bug remains. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1617599 Title: Resume from suspend causes reboot, except if USB key is plugged in Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have been struggling to find out how to get my Dell M3800 laptop using Ubuntu 16.04 to resume from suspend. It goes into suspend with no errors in /var/log/pm-suspend.log. But when resuming, it immediately reboots, with no errors in /var/log/pm-suspend either. Suspend/resume works out of the box when using a Ubuntu 16.04 live CD, but not when using the fresh installed 16.04 afterwards. WORKAROUND: 1) Resume works perfectly when any USB key is plugged in. 2) Enable "USB Wake support" in the BIOS.
