Windows 10 is a Windows operating system that was released in October of 2016. It is a continuation of the Windows 8.1 operating system and has many changes and improvements over its predecessor. One of the main changes is that it now supports multiple GPUs, which makes gaming more enjoyable. Additionally, it has a new feature called “OneDrive” which allows users to store their files on one central location so they can access them anywhere they want without having to worry about where they are stored.
Windows 10 is a new operating system that has been released in late October of 2014. It is a major update to the Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems. One of the main changes in Windows 10 is that it supports multiple GPUs, which means that you can use more than one device to play games or watch videos. This is a big change for gaming and video editing, as many people have been using separate devices for these activities. However, if you are using an AMD or Nvidia card in your computer, you may not be able to use Windows 10 because the drivers do not support this type of card. If this is the case for you, then you may want to try upgrading your computer to Windows 10 before continuing reading this article.
If you’re experiencing problems with your computer going to sleep, the only real solution is to wait for a Windows 10 driver that will fix the issue. There are two methods you can try: the first is to wait until an appropriate driver is released by Microsoft, and the second is to try a third-party sleep solution. ..
Method 1 – Update Chipset Drivers
If you don’t have the latest drivers for your Windows 10 machine, you can try to find them online. For example, Microsoft has a website where you can find driver downloads for most devices.
The most important drivers to update are the chipset drivers, BIOS, and network card drivers. If you have a custom built system, read my post on using third-party software to find and update drivers. I’ve also previously written that it’s probably not a good idea to update your BIOS, except in certain cases like this where you may be having possibly hardware-related problems. If you do decide to update the BIOS, read my post on how to check whether an update is available for your BIOS or not. ..
Windows 10 is a new operating system that is being released regularly. It has many new features and updates that you need to install in order to keep your computer running smoothly.
Method 2 – Check for Power Requests
In some cases, the Windows program might send a power request even if there is no interaction with the mouse and keyboard. This could be because the program is trying to save power or because it needs to run a task that requires more power than the system can provide. If this happens, your computer might not be able to shut down or go to sleep and you might have to take action such as turning off your computer or unplugging it from the wall.
get-wmiobject -Class Win32_PowerRequest | where {$_.status -eq “Stuck”} ..
Windows 8 does not support SRVNET, which means that requests for the service currently do not exist. If you need to use SRVNET, be sure to check out the Windows 8 article I mentioned at the very beginning of this article.
The powercfg command can be used to see which devices on your system can wake the computer up. Normally, this includes the mouse and keyboard, but sometimes other devices like the network card, graphics card, etc., register themselves and can cause issues. To prevent devices from waking up your computer, read Method 3 from my Windows 7 post to learn how to prevent them from doing so.

Method 3 – Run Troubleshooters
If you’re having problems with your computer, it might be helpful to have some of the Troubleshooting apps installed automatically. To do this, go to Control Panel and click on Troubleshooting. Then click on View all at the top left.
The two you want to run are Power and System Maintenance.
Some people have had success running these programs on certain client machines, so it might be worth a try. ..
Method 4 – Disconnect Devices
I had one client whose computer would not sleep and after hours of trying all kinds of fixes in Windows, it ended up being a Logitech USB Joystick that was causing the problem! So another possible easy solution is to remove any connected USB devices, restart your computer and see if Windows 10 goes to sleep.
If you have any USB devices connected to your computer, try to find the latest driver for them and install it.
Method 5 – Clean Boot
Windows 10 is not sleeping well. A clean boot may be the only solution to this problem. Instructions can be found here on how to perform a clean boot on Windows 10.
If you’re having trouble getting your computer to start up, try performing a “clean boot.” This will disable all of the startup programs and then restart the computer. If the computer starts going to sleep, you can then enable each startup program one by one and see if the problem goes away. If it doesn’t, then the problem likely lies with one of those programs and you’ll need to disable it and restart the computer. It’s a tedious process, but it can help solve your problems! ..
Windows 8.1 and later require a clean boot to fix problems with sleep. If the computer sleeps fine in safe mode, then go ahead and perform a clean boot to find the program causing the sleep problem.
Method 6 – Restore Plan Defaults
Restore your power plan defaults. Go to Control Panel, click on Power Options, and then click on Change plan settings next to the plan you have selected.
Restore your computer’s default settings to the way they were before you added this plan.
Method 7 – Restore PC
If you’re having trouble with your Windows 10 PC, resetting it might be your only option. Check out my post on how to reset a Windows 10 PC. Note that you can choose to keep your data and files, so it’s not a complete wipe of your system. ..
Windows 10 reinstallation is the most popular and easiest way to get your computer back to its original state. However, it can be time-consuming and risky, so make sure to backup your data first. ..
