Windows 10: Windows 11 24H2 update causing screen, sleep and cooling issues on Aspire Vero AV15-51 laptop

After updating to Windows 11 24H2, errors began to appear regarding screen shutdown, sleep, and computer cooling.When the laptop is running on battery power and there is less than 15% charge left, it automatically turns on power saving regardless of the system settings, changes the display operating time to 1 minute, and the sleep time to 1 minute. When connecting the power, these parameters change: display shutdown for 3 minutes, sleep time for 3 minutes both for connected power and from the battery. I am tired of endlessly changing the parameters to the ones I need.Sometimes, regardless

Windows 11 is not sleep or turn off screen

Dear Microsoft Support Community,

I'm reaching out because I'm encountering an issue with my Windows 11 operating system on My ROG Asus laptop. Specifically, I've noticed that despite configuring the sleep settings in Windows, My laptop does not enter sleep mode or turn off the screen after the designated period of inactivity(but rarely and randomly it does!).

Here are some details about my system:

• Laptop Model: G513
  
• Operating System: Windows 11(22635.3209 Beta Insider)
  

I've tried adjusting the sleep settings through the Control Panel and Power Options, ensuring that the settings are configured correctly to initiate sleep mode after a specified duration of inactivity. However, even after setting these parameters, My laptop remains active indefinitely without entering sleep mode or turning off the screen.

This issue is concerning as it affects the battery life and overall performance of my laptop. I've also checked for any pending updates or driver issues that might be causing this problem, but everything seems to be up to date.

Could you please provide guidance on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue? I would greatly appreciate any assistance or suggestions.
