Windows 10: Unable to start tasks after computer has "gone to sleep".

The computer screen was black when I got started this morning, which is normal, as it is set to turn off the monitor and put the PC to sleep after 30 minutes of no activity. This morning was different. I loaded a CD and started Media Player. It started but no sound, so I went to the toolbar to adjust the volume. It wouldn't open the speaker tool. In fact I couldn't open anything from the taskbar. Including the Windows Start key, the one with the Windows logo.The Power & Sleep is set to go to sleep after 30 minutes I thought it was 60 minutes as mentioned above. What is the benefit from

:)

Computer will not sleep.


My computer that I've just installed Win 10 on wakes immediately after putting to sleep.

I've tried all things listed in this thread.

I've gone into the event viewer and filtered on Power Troubleshooter in Event sources for waking, and it indicates Unknown Source.

I've check to see that the NW Adapter is set to allow wake, magic packets only.

The Allow Wake Timers in Power settings is set to Important Wake Timers only.

I've disconnected all USB devices just for testing the sleep.

I've run out of ideas. I'll be searching more on Google. But if any other thoughts/suggestions, it's appreciated.
