Windows 10: Asus Win 11 64 bit Laptop hard to wake up after correct interval before sleeping

Installed IoBit antimalware suite, laptop goes to sleep normally, hard to wake up, have to press power key until it shuts off or nearly shuts off, and then it does a "cold start." Restore point too recent to fix. Also I'm getting an installation request for an MSI every time the computer restarts. It's for 211ea351.msi. Should I reset and preserve files, but allow apps to be deleted?

ASUS Laptop Won't Wake from Sleep Mode

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363
System Manufacturer ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
System Model UX490UAR
System Type x64-based PC
SMBIOS Version 3.0

Problem: about 80% of the time, my laptop won't wake up from sleep mode via keyboard press or mouse move/click. I seem to be missing many common features in power plan too, even after fresh Windows 10 install.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Reinstalled Windows 10 (clean)
2. Updated all drivers
3. Replicated on multiple Windows 10 versions, updates
4. BIOS latest version
5. No USB devices attached, ever. Only USB-C power and bluetooth mouse
6. Disabled "fast startup" in control panel

 

Asus Laptop Wakes Immediately After Sleeping

I don't think the laptop was always like this (though it's barely been a week with it), but recently, when putting the laptop to sleep, it immediately wakes up, almost as if it never went to sleep at all (like hitting win+L, except the screen turns off for a little bit). I've done quite a bit of googling to try and find solutions, but no dice so far. Here's everything I've done/everything I know:

• Event viewer records both the sleep and wake events. The sleep event looks normal ("sleep button pressed" or something along those lines), but the wake event is strange (woken due to "reason: mouse input"). This makes no sense because:
  
  • I have disabled all hardware devices from waking the computer; when running the powercfg command to list all devices that can wake the computer, it returns "NONE"
    
  • There was 1 time where instead of reporting the wake reason as "mouse input", event viewer reported waking was caused by "reason 44", no idea what that is
    
• The powercfg lastwake command also isn't helpful, and just reports that no wake events have occurred
  
• I used powercfg to check for wake timers, while there was one related to windowsexperience whatever (which disappeared after removing all live tiles from the start menu), the disappearance of the timer does not seem to have fixed my problem
  
• I used a powershell script (can't remember which, exactly) to list all task scheduler tasks that could wake the computer, none of them were enabled
  
• I have tested the sleep behavior with Remote Desktop connections enabled and disabled (N/B the laptop shipped with a Windows 10 Pro key), no change either way
  
• I've tested the sleep behavior with magic packets and WOP enabled and disabled on my Wifi (ethernet not connected), no change
  
• I have tested the sleep behavior with MS PowerToys keyboard manager enabled and disabled, no change either way
  
• I have updated my bios to the latest version supplied by the laptop vendor, no change. Also checked Windows update, no updates available
  
• I have restarted my computer multiple times, no change in behavior
  

Any tips that I've not already tried would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
