    PC Shutting down instead of going to sleep


    I have put my computer to sleep every night for years and all the sudden it will not go to sleep any more. When I'm done with my work, I go to start > (power icon) > sleep and the screen goes black. Usually at this point a couple seconds later the fans would stop and the power light would change to flashing, but recently (over the past week) it sits with the screen off, idling for several minutes before shutting down completely. Even when I am being absolutely certain that I am clicking the sleep option.

    What could be causing this and what can I do to fix it?

    PC persists in shutting down instead of going to sleep.

    Hello,

    The reason why your Dell notebook shuts down instead of it going to sleep is because of the settings on your system. Kindly check this

    link    . In here, is a thread with the same issue but it has been answered by one my colleagues named
    ThofikhAhamad.

    If the problem still persists after doing all of these troubleshooting steps, we suggest that we perform a clean boot for us to verify that there's no third party utility installed causing conflict on your power settings. Here's an

    article     for you to check how to perform it.

    Let us know if the resolution provided works.

    Laptop shuts down instead of going to sleep

    I have a year-old Asus laptop and recently installed Windows 10. Now, instead of going to sleep it shuts down.

    If I just leave it running, eventually it goes to sleep. If I don't leave it sleeping for too long it will wake up properly. But if I leave it sleeping for a while it will shut down. If I close the lid, instead of sleeping it shuts down. Under "what
    to do when the lid is closed" it is set to go to sleep but obviously this isn't working properly.

    This is getting to be a real pain. Every time I open the lid I have to wait while it boots up.

    So far, on a scale of 1 - 10 my satisfaction level with Windows 10 is about a 2!
