Solution to overcome can't go to sleep mode on PC

Sleep mode on a PC has almost the same functionality as hibernation, but the difference is that users don’t have to restart the computer from scratch. So this is the same as using the lock screen feature on the mobile phone.

Quite task or the current program can be continued. And when a laptop goes into sleep mode, the device runs at a minimum and consumes little battery power.

Usually the PC will automatically go into sleep mode when the system encounters an error idle or no activity for a slightly longer period of time. But there are times when there are PCs that cannot switch to sleep mode. And there has to be a reason.

Overcoming the PC can not go into sleep mode

Some of the steps shared here will allow you to return to normal sleep mode. Now, if your computer or laptop is having a similar problem, try some of these ways starting with the first.

1. Change the settings in the power options

  1. Click START / Search and enter Edit power plan, then ENTER.

  2. Then click on the menu Change advanced power settings.

  3. Double-click in the dialog that appears Multimedia settings.

  4. And in the section When sharing media, set as Let the computer sleep.

    Change the settings in the power options

  5. The final step, click the button OK.

The simple conclusion from the above method is to make sure that the problem is not being caused by multimedia. So if the device sometimes goes into sleep mode, it immediately comes back to life. This is due to the media that are still playing, such as music and videos.

Right click on the driver and select properties. And go to the tab Power management and disable the option Allow this device to reactivate the computer. Keep clicking the OK button.
