Windows 10: Windows sometimes will not wake from sleep mode even when pressing the power button.

I built a desktop and installed windows 10 (pro, am currently on version 1903, build 18632.476) on it . From time to time when it would go to sleep mode I would try to wake it by pressing the flashing power button and it would do nothing (nor could I hard shutdown from the power button) but other times the power button does actually work. Does anyone know what could be causing this or of some way to make it stop happening without turning off sleep mode all together?

Only the Power Button Wakes PC from Sleep - Laptop

I do not have that tab but can still wake it by pressing any key.

 

wake from sleep issue in windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your reply. Apologize for the delay in response.

I suggest you to check which devices are configured to wake up the computer from sleep by following the steps below:

• Right click on Start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type the command line below:

Powercfg /devicequery wake_armed

3. Check if the devices (Keyboard, Mouse, Ethernet cable) are listed.

If the system is not going to sleep and going to Hybernate, the only option to wake up is to press the Power button.

Hope the information is helpful.
