Windows 10: Problem with sleep mode in Windows 11.

Since the most recent Windows 11 update, my laptop has been going into sleep mode after I stop using the keyboard for 1 minute. I have the “screen and sleep” settings set to 30 minutes for “on battery power” and 1 hour for “plugged in,” and the “power mode” is set to “balanced.” But it still goes to sleep after only 1 minute. Any suggestions on how I can fix this? Thanks.

Problem with SLEEP mode


I have a refurbished Dell OptiPlex, 8GB 64 bit and have a problem with using "Sleep" mode. It works when I click on SLEEP, but then, when I switch off my screen or my wifi mouse, it loads again. This did not happen with Windows 7.

Any ideas or suggestions please?

 

Problem with Sleep Mode - Fresh Install

Do you guys remember this one? I've got this laptop back in my hands.

The problem persists: The laptop goes into sleep mode, from the Power menu, but freezes at a black screen and doesn't fully complete the process. It remains frozen there until I do a hard shutdown.
This problem started after a Clean Install of Windows 10 Home v2004.


I reviewed all the past posts and tried all the suggestions again:

• rundll.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0 does the same thing as the Power Menu: tries to go to sleep, freezes.
• Powercfg /a results in S3 only. Hibernation is OFF. Fast Startup is OFF.
• Running the most recent correct driver from Nvidia for 610M graphics: v391.35, Standard driver
• I ran powercfg /systemsleepdiagnostics again. I will attach html file here. The results report that the system has successfully gone into sleep on every attempt. There is no errors reported in the report.

More things I've done:"

While the laptop was away, I had her try disabling the on-processor Intel graphics display adapter in Device Manager. This did not change anything. But she never re-enabled the device. When I got the laptop I noticed two things:

• There was no Sleep option in the Power Menu
• Nvidia Control Panel would not open, with the error message: "Nvidia display settings are not available. You are not currently using a display attached to an Nvidia GPU"

I re-enabled the Intel display adapter and restarted.

• Sleep was back on the Power Menu
• The nVidia Control Panel worked again
• Yes, you read that right.
• Does not change the problem

Next, I disabled the Nvidia display adapter and restarted. I am now on Intel Graphics. Display Properties brings up the Intel Control Panel.

• Does not change the problem

So now I am looking for more solutions.
I seems to me that Windows is going into Sleep Mode as it normally does. But something is going wrong after the "handoff". I just don't see any obvious problems in Windows.
I going to do a thorough check in the BIOS setting now....
