Windows 10: Consistent crashes after starting up PC from sleep

Recently my PC has been crashing every time i try and use it after some time after it wakes up from sleep. Im on windows 11 with the error messages from event viewer being5032 - Driver Miniport reset watchdogIntelR Wireless-AC 9260 160MHz : Has determined that the network adapter is not functioning properly.IntelR Wireless-AC 9260 160MHz : Has encountered an internal error and has failed.IntelR Wireless-AC 9260 160MHz&nb

Trouble Putting PC to Sleep  

I finally determined what the cause of my PC waking up right after I invoke sleep function Start > Power > Sleep. I recently purchased a Velocifire wireless (2.4ghz) keyboard that also comes with a USB cord so it can be used in corded mode. When used in corded mode, sleeping the PC is not a problem. When I use the wireless dongle, the PC refuses to sleep for more than a second. So, the wireless mode of this keyboard is what triggers the problem. In addition to the things I've tried in my original post, here are the results of some suggestions you guys made:

• Created a new fake user and logged in under than user. Same behavior.
• Started PC in Safe Mode. Unfortunately, in Safe Mode sleep functions are limited to the monitor and hard drives. Nothing to put the PC to sleep.
• Tried going into sleep via Alt + F4. Same behavior.
• powercfg -a reports S3 is active on my system.

There are no obvious irregularities in Device Manager. The dongle shows up under USB Serial Bus Controllers as a USB Composite Device.

• General Tab says "This device is working properly".
• In Driver Tab, I tried searching for a better driver, but Windows says there is no better driver.
• There is no Power Management tab.

So as it turns out, all of things I've tried appear to have been a waste of time as it was not addressing the wireless function of the keyboard. I contacted the manufacturer and they suggested that I delete the USB Composite Device entry, re-boot and re-insert the dongle. However, that did not change inability to sleep the PC. Any other ideas?

Consistent crashes - related to hpcommrecovery...

I am having problems that exhibit like this:


Windows 10 V1909 / OS Build 18363.693

If I walk away from laptop with screen on, after the period set it goes to sleep OR, I can manually select shutdown/sleep OR I can shut the screen which is set to put it too sleep.

Then, very often, when I turn the computer on, the screen never comes to life. I have to hold power button to shutdown, and reboot.

I find in the screen capture below there are 2 redX critical events: 1 is for Comm Recovery stopped working, and the other is for Windows not properly shut down. The first is probably the problem, the second from my turning it off to reboot.

Any suggestions for me to chase to fix this?
