How to fix
Non-functioning sleep mode
on Windows

My PC won‘t go to sleep. This problem appeared after updating Windows. Sometimes it does go to sleep but only after a short while. Troubleshooting did not help. What should I do next?

Non-functioning sleep mode in Windows 10 is most likely to occur after updating your operating system. Due to the possible mismatch between the older and new settings, you might face this problem. Another reason is that there might be altered default settings which prevent the sleep mode from functioning well. Luckily, there is no need to worry about as there are solutions to your problem.

Option 1. Managing sleep and hibernation settings

1. Press Start select Settings.
2. Navigate to System and then Power & sleep.
3. Check if the Sleep setting shows the wanted value.
4. Enter Additional power settings and click Change Plan Settings.

On the Power Options screen, check whether each function allows the operating system to hibernate. However, there is an easier way to do it. Looking for a flaw might take time, thus, you can simply enable Restore plan settings. This action will set each entry automatically and allow Windows to sleep.

Option 2. Managing network adapter

Network adapter might be at fault for this problem, so you need to make several changes to solve the issue.

1. Click Start and type Device Manager.
2. Enter it and navigate to Properties.
3. Choose Power Management tab and remove the checkmark from the box which says Allow this device to wake the computer.

If you do not see the Power Management tab, log in as an Administrator rather an ordinary user.
Lastly, it would be useful to check your system once in a while with [rev id=”RegCure Pro”]. This utility helps maintain and manage your operating system. If there are any missing or corrupted registry entries, different system errors and notifications might appear. Thus, in order to remove them, run the software.
