Aurora R14, not going into sleep mode

Aurora R14 Ryzen 7 Edition not going into sleep mode all day or night even clicking Power then Sleep. Lights also stay on.Power setting is Balanced. Support Assist says everything is fine. Love everything else about it except Sleep Problem and Windows 11! I want my Windows 10 Pro back.

    On Alienwares, LED-lights staying on after actual Sleeping accomplished is a separate issue.

    Not Sleeping (or immediately waking after manually putting to Sleep) is another. Which issue do you have?

    My experience is ... best to shoot-for S3 Sleep Mode. That is all drives/fans stopped and if it wasn't for the slow-flashing or glowing power-light you would swear it was off. It will still wake for Scheduled Events, keyboard/mouse clicks, Ethernet Magic Packet, etc.

    Intel Ready Mode is disable for mine, but I guess that doesn't apply to AMD systems.

    Sleep can be tricky to setup and troubleshoot now-days. If you are looking for easy or quick-fix you should probably just live-with-it. Just Shut-Down proper before you go to bed at night.

    Hey, you're back. I agree that "reinstalling Windows-11" is kinda lame suggestion for this problem.

    But how is that your answer to MY post? I explained the 2 issues, and even gave yall some tips to start trouble-shooting.

    No, there is no easy "Make Sleep Mode Work Properly" option-setting, sorry.

    Open up an Administrator Prompt and type in the following 2 commands:

     

    powercfg -lastwake
    powercfg -waketimers

     

    You can also open up event viewer and go to the system log, then do a search for Power-Troubleshooter under the source column.

    Hello, Tesla1856. I am having sleep issues as well. The issue with mine is that my AMD R14 does not go to sleep at all. Keyboard, mouse, and monitor all turn-off but the pc remains on with fans and full RGB lights. 

    I tried using cmd and event viewer to try and hunt down the anomaly but cant seem to track anything at all. 

    I have updated the BIOS, all drivers, and even reinstalled the Alienware command center. I have done pretty much everything except reinstall windows... I would really like to avoid that if at all possible. Any ideas or leads to info that I may have slipped by me on my search for a solution?

    from a powershell or cmd (admin) windows try:   powercfg /energy

    This will create a report " energy-report.html" that may help you with clues .

    file can be found in the c:\users\ < name> folder

    A more comprehensive sleep report can be generated using the above cmd and entering:

    powercfg.exe /SleepStudy

    I'm having the same issue with my Aurora r15.  The system log logs the wake source as "unknown."
