  1. PC doesn't sleep even after I press 'Sleep' on start. Help


    After pressing 'Sleep' from the start, the display immediately goes black and nothing happens, it basically just only turns off the display and does not go into sleep mode.

    And the display remains off till I move my mouse, where I can see the start again, right where I stopped before pressing sleep.

    This doesn't happen always, but 80% of the time this is how it goes.

    When it does sleep tho, theres no issues of it ever waking up by itself or whatsoever.

    Running on Windows 10 20H2, but this behavior was present when I was on 20H1 too.

    Any fix appereciated.

      • powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
    • Close the Command Prompt window, and then restart your PC to apply the changes.

    by typing it into the Windows Search. Check the When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after
