If you still have problems with your Windows 10 computer sleeping, there may be a program that is constantly running on your PC that keeps it awake, or even worse, a virus.

If you have a sensitive mouse, any vibration near your PC could be keeping your machine awake. If you’re feeling lazy, just hit the “ Restore plan defaults” button and that should toggle all items to where sleeping is allowed in Windows 10. I had to set this to “ Allow the computer to sleep“. In my case, the setting under “ Multimedia settings” > “ When sharing media” was set to “ Prevent idling to sleep“. On the “ Power Options” screen, you want to expand each setting and ensure that they allow the computer to go to sleep mode.Select “ Change advanced power settings“.Select “ Change Plan Settings” next to the option that you have selected.Select “ Additional power settings” in the right pane.Ensure the “ Sleep” setting is set to a desired value.
