    Hello, I'm Jan and I'm happy to help you today. I'm sorry that you are experiencing this problem.

    • Reset power option settings. Open command prompt as an administrator. Paste the command below then press Enter.
    powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
    • Try to perform a Clean boot and disable background application and services as they can also cause these sleep issues.
    • Try to unplug all external USB devices and disconnect Bluetooth devices. To identify if any of the external devices is causing this issue.
    • Reinstall and update the drivers. Download the latest graphics , chipset, and check for latest BIOS update.
    • Disable Fast startup. Open Control Panel> Power Options> Choose what the power buttons do> Change settings that are currently unavailable Uncheck "Turn on fast startup"

    If your PC is not sleeping or turning off the display as set, there are a few things you can check:

    1. Power Settings: Ensure that your power settings are configured correctly. You can access these settings by going to Settings > System > Power & sleep. Make sure that the timers for sleep and display off are set to your desired times.
    2. Sleep State: Windows uses different sleep states (S1-S3) based on user activity and preferences. If the system is not entering sleep, it may be due to a setting that prevents it from doing so. Check if any applications or devices are preventing sleep.
    3. Hybrid Sleep: If hybrid sleep is enabled, it combines sleep and hibernation. If your system is configured for hybrid sleep, it may not behave as expected. You can disable hybrid sleep in the power settings.
    4. Wake Timers: Sometimes, wake timers can prevent the system from sleeping. You can check this in the advanced power settings under Sleep > Allow wake timers and set it to Disable.
    5. Device Settings: Certain devices, like USB devices or network adapters, can prevent the system from sleeping. You can check the properties of these devices in Device Manager and ensure that they are not set to wake the computer.
    6. Updates and Drivers: Ensure that your Windows and device drivers are up to date, as outdated drivers can cause issues with sleep functionality.

    If the problem persists, you may want to consider running the Power Troubleshooter to diagnose and fix power-related issues automatically.
