    How can I get my PC to stay in sleep mode?


    I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1 and cannot get my PC to stay in sleep mode. That wasn't a problem with 8.1. In my Windows 10 Power & Sleep Settings I've selected 3 minutes for my monitor to shut down and 5 minutes for my PC to go to sleep. Both happen - but both keep starting up and shutting down over and over repeatedly. Not sure at what intervals this occurs as I'm not constantly observing my PC. But I've looked at often enough when I'm not using it to know it happens. Any suggestions?

    :)

    Urgent help with PC that wont stay in sleep mode!


    I really need some help. I have a custom built PC. Ever since then I haven't been able to go into sleep mode. As soon as I click Sleep the system powers down for few seconds then powers straight back on to show me login screen. For better insight on the issue I would suggest looking at >this<. The link directs you to Microsoft Community website, and what you will see is my thread asking for help. Knowing Microsoft Community I feel as if they just give basic steps then thinking out of the box so that's why i'm here.

    What I've tried so far is doing a reset with Windows 10 Pro to wipe everything but keeps files on SSD which is my primary. I disconnected my HDD which is for gaming and music so that it wont get touched. As I'm typing this the issue hasn't been fixed. The only thing that I did was some updates for OS, and that's it! I'm completely puzzled by what is happening.

    Please help! Thanks in advance.
