Windows 10: Windows 10 Desktop unable to enter Sleep

Recently, my desktop isn't able to enter Sleep. Once I press 'Sleep', the screen will darken, but after a few seconds, it will display the standard lockscreen.

Trying to enter sleep repeatedly doesn't work.

Running powercfg -requests after this issue will display 1 result:
PERFBOOST:[DRIVER] Legacy Kernel CallerPower Manager

Running powercfg -devicequery wake_armed gives no results as I disabled all of my bluetooth devices which can wake the computer.

Running powercfg -lastwake will give the following result:
Wake History Count - 1Wake History [0] Wake Source Count - 1 Wake Source [0] Type: Device Instance Path: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_15BC&SUBSYS_15BC1849&REV_10\3&11583659&0&FE Friendly Name: Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (7) I219-V Description: Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (7) I219-V Manufacturer: Intel Corporation

Which is weird. I do not have a Ethernet cable connected to the LAN port and even after disabling the wired adapter, it still shows up.

Any guidance to resolve this issue is greatly appreciated! Cheers

:)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
