  2. Computer shuts down instead of going in to sleep mode

    Since two weeks my Dell laptop is shutting down every time when:

    • Closing the laptop

    Computer shuts down when put to sleep

    When I close the lid of my new laptop, it shuts down instead of staying in sleep mode. I've triple checked that the computer is set to Sleep (NOT Shut Down) when the lid is closed. It seems to Sleep for a short time, then Shut Down. Battery at 90%, so that
    isn't the issue. I got the computer a week ago, and have checked done all available updates. I've also disabled Fast Start Up as a suggested fix. I've run the Troubleshooter as well, and it found no problems. This is really frustrating. Any help would be
    greatly appreciated. Thanks.
