There might be something that causes the issue.
I will recommend that you update all your device drivers and BIOS to the latest version.

My laptop can't sleep automatically when plugged in, but I already set the sleep timer on battery 15 minutes and while plugged in 30 minutes. It only can sleep automatically if on battery but it can't sleep automatically while plugged in. I've already set the timer 30 minutes for my laptop to sleep while plugged in but it can't sleep automatically. So what's the problem?
