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. Uncheck the “ Allow this device to wake the computer” box, then select “ OK” for each network card.Check under each of the options by right-clicking and selecting “ Properties“.Expand the “ Network adapters” section.These steps are the same as Fix 2, only you’re checking under “Network adapters”. Uncheck the “ Allow this device to wake the computer” box, then select “ OK“.Right-click on the mouse you are using, then choose “ Properties“.Expand the “ Mice and other pointing devices” section.Select the “ Start” button, then type “ device“.
Try these steps to prevent the mouse from waking your machine. 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“.
