Windows 10: Windows 10 Desktop Sleep Mode in Power Settings

I have my system set up to go into sleep mode after 15 minutes. Until recently, this worked fine except instances where my browser might have a page loaded that prevented the sleep mode from activating.


Now, even without a browser or application loaded my system fails to go into sleep mode. Something must be getting loaded that is keeping the system active and preventing it from activating sleep mode.


Any suggestions on where I might start to resolve this?


Thanks

sleep mode and power options not working on Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Forums.

For issues with sleep mode and power options follow the steps provided below.

Run the Power troubleshooter and check.

Follow the steps to run the troubleshooter:

• Open Control Panel.
• Type Troubleshooting in search and click
  Troubleshooting.
• Now type Power in the search option.
• Click on Power troubleshooter to run.

I would suggest you to try updating the Display driver and check if the issue persists. If you already have all the latest drivers from Windows updates, then I would suggest you to visit the computer manufacturer's website, download and install the latest
drivers in compatibility mode and check.

Hope this helps.
