    PC Will Not Automatically Sleep


    After reinstalling windows after getting a new drive I encountered a strange issue, my computer will never sleep automatically. I have reduced the timer down to 1 minute and still nothing. Running "powercfg -devicequery wake_armed" results NONE, and running "powercfg -requests" results in NONE since I have disabled all of them. I have also tried unplugging everything and it still did not work. Any help on what I can do here? I have researched this topic extensively and did not find any solutions that worked for me.

    I am on Version 2004 (Build 19041.388) and all of my drivers are up to date.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I should also add that safe mode did not resolve this either.

    :)

    Hi Hamza,

    Conflicts with the power settings is one of the possible reasons why your computer goes to sleep automatically. For us to assist you better, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Which version and OS build number of Windows 10 is currently installed? To check, press the
      Windows key, type winver, and press the

    PC Will Not Automatically Sleep

    PC wakes from sleep automatically?

    Hello. I did all the steps you listed.

    1) You can't use sleep in safe mode

    2) Clean boot did not help at all.
