    Sleeping mode - PC turns on by itself


    Some times it turns on immediately and some times it takes some hours after I select sleep mode. I already disabled "Allow wake timers" in Advanced settings / Power Opitions and saw a couple ways to fix this problem which involves the command "powercfg -lastwake" in the cmd prompt, but I didn't see how that can help at

    :)

    PC turns on straight away after sleep mode is on

    Hi Danny,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    I see that you system is still on even if the sleep mode option is turned on. This might be due to the change in the power plan settings.

    Please follow the below methods and check if it works,

    Method 1: I suggest you to run in-built Power troubleshooter and check. Follow the steps:

    • Press Windows Key + X.
    • Click on Control Panel.
    • Select Troubleshooting on the left pane, click on
      View All.
    • Click on Power to run the troubleshooter.
    Method 2: If the above method doesn’t help, I would suggest you to reset and restore all of the default Power Plans back with their default settings. Follow the steps.

    • Press Windows Key + X.
    • Type Power Options and then Enter.
    • In the left pane Select Change when the computer sleeps.
    • Select Restore default settings on this plan.
    • Restart the computer and check with the issue.
    Reply us if you have further queries we will be glad to assist you.

    Is it safe to put your pc in sleep mode?

    My pc goes to sleep after about 1 hour of idle time. Is it safe to put the pc in sleep mode?

    Won't it decrease the lifetime of the gpu, cpu, etc. If they are turned off and on straight-away?

    Sleeping mode - PC turns on by itself

    PC gets "stuck" in sleep mode

    Hello,

    There are many ways to shut down your PC, you can turn the PC off completely, you can make it sleep, or you can hibernate the PC.

    Sleep Mode uses very little power, your PC starts up faster, and you’re instantly back to where you left off. You don’t have to worry that you'll lose your work because of your battery draining, because Windows automatically saves all
    your work and turns off the PC if the battery is too low.

    We would suggest that you follow the troubleshooting on this link to Shut down, sleep, or hibernate your PC. Scroll down and check under
    "To make your PC sleep" troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.

    We'll be looking forward for your update.
