I'm having an issue with my Windows 11 computer where it refuses to go to sleep. When I hit the sleep button, my monitors go dark, but the computer itself stays on. This happened after the latest Windows update. I have a custom-built desktop setup with many peripherals connected, but none have previously caused sleep issues. Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

If you have Steam running, it can sometimes interfere with sleep mode. Make sure to completely close it. However, if that doesn’t solve it, there might be another issue at play. Just a thought!

Check your network adapter settings. Sometimes the Ethernet or WiFi drivers are set to wake the computer for network packets, which can prevent sleep. You might want to disable that option.
