My PC won't sleep

[NPSTR107]

So, I can set my PC to sleep, but it will wake up to the lock screen in about 3 seconds.

 

Help.

Have you tried turning it off and back on.

No but really What is the OS of the computer kinda can't help unless I know.

It's been going on for a long time. Most of the time I just leave it on and turn my monitor off. Hibernating doesn't work as it will just bluescreen or won't turn back on again.

It's in my profile. Windows 10 still on the anniversary update, can't get to the creators update as my PC will just crash doing the update.

There still might be something wrong with your windows config files. If this problem comes back or you have any other random things happen I would recommend you reset windows. Here is a link on how to do that https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1013063

I would say it's a USB device that's waking the machine up.
However follow these and see if they help.

do you have any usb devices connected that could wake it up? you can disable wake by usb in the bios.

My PC definitely needs a reset. Well out of date. Thanks.

Capture cards, microphones, controllers, cameras, phones etc. haha
