Windows 10: Dell laptop not sleeping - what is DHCPv6ReSolicit activator?

I am having problems with my Dell laptop not sleeping. It is running Windows 11 22000.466. I ran SleepStudy a few times recently and a top offender is DHCPv6ReSolicit. I tried googling this term and it brings back near zero results. Any suggestions where to go from here?Of course I have tried all of the standard steps:Run Windows UpdateCheck for updates from DellRun the Windows Power TroubleshooterI would be happy to share more information, just let me know what else would be helpful.

Dell Monitor Camera

I have a Dell Monitor hooked to a Dell XPS Laptop. I want to use the monitor camera not the laptop camera. I've tried the suggestions from a closed thread about activating the camera but when I try the steps it keeps going to the laptop camera.

Suggestions or am I asking the impossible.

 

Dell Laptop running while in sleep mode

Apparently my Dell Inspiron 15 laptop began running while in sleep mode (i.e. w/ lid closed). When I tried to logon this a.m., I became aware laptop was running at high speed, as if downloading a Windows update. I had to perform hard-stop to take control
and logon. I then received a "please wait" for about 1 min before I could logon.

This happens periodically. There is typically no message, such as "Update in progress" or "please wait"; screen is dark. I have scheduled updates to take place when laptop is not in use. However, this was not a Windows update; I checked Update History
and most recent was on 5/22. I also checked my Norton antivirus, and there was no scan in progress.

My question is what causes this uncontrolled hard-drive activity. Is this a Windows issue or a computer hardware issue? Does the hard-stop create any problem with function, besides ? Thanks for any suggestions!

PS: Since above post, have found online some Power Plan suggestions for Dell Inspiron. Perhaps this will correct problem, but welcome any suggestions.
