    Security problem, my computer never asks me for my pin because it never enters sleep mode


    This for me is a big security issue. But I think I have a clue that might help. I use an HP printer with Instant Ink Service so my printer is always on. However, if I turn the printer off, then my sleep mode system works properly and the next time I return to my computer I have to enter my pin. But I don't know how to fix this when I turn my printer back on and leave it on. This never used to happen before. I believe the problem started about 3 weeks ago.


    Update history:

    Feature Update to Windows 10, version 2004 8/13/2020

    Cumulative Update for >NET Framework 3.5 & 4.8 for Windows 10 Version 2004 for x64 KB4576478 9/10/2020

    Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 2004 for x64 based systems KB4571756 9/10/2020

    Intel System Driver Update 9/19/2017 11.7.0.1000, Installed 9/30/2020


    Several weeks ago I tried setting all my power and sleep setting to default but that didn't help. Any ideas?

    :)

    Security problem, my computer never asks me for my pin because it never enters sleep mode

    Cannot Enter Safe Mode / Computer boots normally

    I'm running Win 10 Pro 1903.

    Here are the steps I have taken to get into safe mode: Start button, settings, update and security, recovery, advanced startup, troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings, restart. The computer boots normally, not in safe mode. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks in advance for your help and interest. .
