Windows 10: Sleep mode not working on Windows10 thread locked: Why?

Can anyone explain to me why the "Sleep mode not working on Windows10" topic has been locked?https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/sleep-mode-not-working-on-windows10/3e2e5dc6-d8b1-42d4-978b-416133ac3ef5I would like to confirm that the last post there by ErikParn is exactly correct: Windows Update is the culprit, preventing my new laptop from entering sleep mode.Wouldn't it be useful for others to confirm this too? What possible justification does Microsoft have for locking such an important thread?Time to pull your heads out of the sand guys.
