  1. PC can't go to sleep anymore


    For some reason whenever I attempt to put the PC to sleep via the start menu or the physical power button, the screen goes dark, but the PC, keyboard, mouse are still lit up. Once I move the mouse, the screen awakens again meaning the PC never went to sleep. This started happening a few days ago. The error occurs on both high performance and balanced power plan.

    I also used to have the hibernate option when I clicked the power button, but it is not there anymore (only sleep, shutdown, restart appear).

  2. Sleep

    Hi,

    This may happen due to its power plan. A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that manages how computers use and conserve power. For this, we suggest that you reset and restore power plans to its default. kindly follow these steps:

    • Open the Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Copy and paste the command below into the command prompt, and press
      Enter
      :
      • powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
    • Close the Command Prompt window, and then restart your PC to apply the changes.

    After that, go to Power & sleep settings
    by typing it into the Windows Search. Check the When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after
    settings is set to Never.

    Let us know if the steps above helped you to resolve the issue.

    In Device manager, check the properties for Ethernet device, Realtek sound device and any USB connected device, if they have "allow computer to turn off this device .." checked.

    Run that Sleep study report and check for possible errors, like Ken suggested

    PC can't go to sleep anymore

    Win10 PC Won't Sleep Anymore

    Win10 64bit V1903 with all published updates. Some weeks ago (maybe even longer) my PC stopped going to sleep after the specified time. I am setting the times in Power & Sleep. I have the screen set to turn off after an hour (and it does) and the PC to sleep after 2 hours but it doesn't. It used to. I have changed the sleep timer several times but that hasn't helped.

    I've looked at Device Management to see anything suspicious there but not sure what to look for.

    Suggestions on what to look for?
