Windows 10: Need to troubleshoot Sleep not working after midnight Windows Update..

I am having my laptop not go to sleep after performing a Windows Update at midnight. In addition, the morning after, I find the laptop running, but when I open the lid, the screen remains black. I have to do a 'hold the power button' shutdown and reboot.

I have done a bunch of troubleshoot with the help of @zbook, and have not identified any hardware errors. I have come to the opinion that the problem is the laptop not going to sleep after the updates, but I don't know why the freeze at a black screen.

So, opening a new thread on the topic of troubleshoot sleep issues. Zbook recommended I perform:

Here is the screen from running those tests:

Attending report filse attached in a zip. I noticed that two of the commands put the results in the same report (sleepstudy-report), so, maybe the first was overwritten by the second...?

I have to leave now, but will re-run those two and save each file separate and post back.

Windows 10 - Sleep Works But Only if 5 Minutes or Less

What about the Troubleshooting tutorial steps here:

https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-windows-10-sl...

I've never seen at least one them not be successful.

I had suggested first to set Display at 0, Sleep at 1 minute and Hibernate at 2 minutes and then after each step sit back to observe. I have rarely had to work all the way through the list.

Absolute thoroughness is required when troubleshooting Sleep, skipping nothing and asking back if you need any help to complete a step. We often find out later that the fix was the skipped step, so please do not skip any. If you need help performing any step
I will help.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
