    Windows shuts down instead of sleep after 20H2 update


    Hi,


    I updated to Windows 10 20H2 yesterday unintentionally. After that system appears to run fine. SFC and DISM all completed without any error. Power troubleshoot was also clean


    However, power management is messed up.


    When I click on Power -> Sleep, the system shut down within a few seconds. LED is off. Pressing power button will cold boot the system. Event manager shows the system shutdown is unexpected.


    In Power Options, there is no fast boot or hibernate options. I then used powercfg -restoredefaultschemes but it does not help. Then I usedpowercfg /h on and these options showed up. Then powercfg /h off to turn off hibernate.

    However, problem remains. Click Power -> Sleep shutdown the system in seconds. If I waits for idling time, it will shut down as well but takes about 30 seconds.

    Then I found hybrid sleep is not there any more unless I have hibernate on see reports below.

    What could I do to fix this?

    Thanks

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg /A

  2. Computer Shutting Off Instead of Sleeping

    Since October (the October update, I think), my computer is shutting down instead of sleeping. Trouble shooter or other solutions I have found here not working. (Reason #465 I wish I could have control over these awful updates.)

    Suggestions?

    Windows shuts down incorrectly, instead of hibernating or sleeping.

    I have an MSI Apache GE72 6QD Pro and I am having issues with the ability to use both sleep and hibernate mode. Every time I select these options in the power menu, instead of going into these power states the system actually shuts off. I have tried the
    following:

    • Updating my BIOS to the most recent version.
    • Creating a new power plan.
    • Going into an elevated CMD window and typing "powercfg /h on".
    • Checking for driver updates of all important drivers.
    And still the issue persists. It seems that the computer tries to go into the selected state and then does a hard shut down (firefox knows that it has been closed as if the power button was held for 5 seconds, instead of the proper shutdown method). The
    silly thing is that "Shut down" works perfectly fine, and actually closes open programs properly before turning off the system. The other two options seem to only force a shut down.

    Windows 10 upgrade, when I hit sleep the computer shuts down after a while instead of sleep

    Thanks. I had already done those steps and it didn't help. I still have the shut down issue after it sleeps for a while. Any other Suggestions?
