Windows 10: HP pavilion thinks I'm pressing sleep button?

Hey all. I've been dealing with this for over a year now, and haven't been able to come up with any answers. Randomly, my laptop HP Pavilion 15t-eg200 will go black and then cut to the lock screen. It wouldn't be that much of an issue, but it's screwed me a couple of times by ending video chats and locking me out of exams, etc. Most recently, it happened this morning, and twice during a video chat last night. Attached is the event log from this morning Dec 2 and last night. It looks like it happened last night 12/1/2024 exactly an hour apart 10:48:43 PM and 11:48:43 PM and today 12/2/

:)

Hi,

The previous update you installed could be the cause as to why you encounter this issue. We would like to ask for additional information. Please provide the following:

• Which build of Windows 10 are you using? To know about it, hit
  Start, type Winver and then press
  Enter. You could also press Windows Key + R, type
  Winver into the
  Run dialog and press Enter.
• Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
• Can you tell us what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

Furthermore, we suggest that you check the Power & sleep settings
if sleep option is enabled. Here are the steps:

• Go to Search then key in Power & Sleep.
• On far right, select Additional power settings.
• Select Choose what the power buttons do.
• Check the Change settings that are currently unavailable, then tick
  Sleep and Save Changes.
• If you already ticked it, then un-tick it and Save Changes.
• Go back and tick it again, then Save Changes.
  

Looking forward to the requested information and the results of the recommended troubleshooting steps.

 

Can't update the HP Pavilion Notebook.

I'm trying to update my system and am getting a message to delete HP Pavilion Notebook - BIOS manually as it is incompatible with the upgrade.

I can't find it to delete it. It's not in the Programs list with the other HP apps.

Any suggestions?
