PC cannot sleep

[alexnt]

How to set these options in order the pc gets into sleep mode?

You should just be able to click 'Sleep' in your Shut Down menu.

 

If you're having problems, you'll have to give us more detail.

If on windows go to the window symbol in the bottom left and click on it then look for power options then click sleep

You can't touch anything or move the mouse after that or it will wake up

Ok, on Windows search 'Fast Boot' in the settings and turn it off. It happened to me but with shut downs and I found that if I turned that off, my machine didn't randomly turn on.

you should check the event log it tells you what woke your system i had that problem with some auto updating software. but network stuff can also cause this.

It seems that only 3 devices are capable to wake it up. And I dont touch mouse or keyboard after i press sleep.

Your problem is a device that wakes up the system. Usually the culprit is mouse, and Ethernet card. You execute the command: powercfg -lastwake to know what waked up the system.

 

Make sure that ALL wake on lan features are disabled, same in your UEFI/BIOS.

 

Some software also wake the system. The command above should tell you which it is.

In network adapters properties, power management tab under wake on lan disable "Wake on pattern match".
