Sleep Issues

Hi since several days my DELL laptop is refusing to sleep. I have tried a number of solutions in various forums but in vain. I have included my energy report generated by cmd using the powercfg command. Please help me!

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Supported Sleep States
Sleep states allow the computer to enter low-power modes after a period of inactivity. The S3 sleep state is the default sleep state for Windows platforms. The S3 sleep state consumes only enough power to preserve memory contents and allow the computer to resume working quickly. Very few platforms support the S1 or S2 Sleep states.
S1 Sleep Supported 	false
S2 Sleep Supported 	false
S3 Sleep Supported 	true
S4 Sleep Supported 	true
Platform Power Management Capabilities:Connected Standby Support
Connected standby allows the computer to enter a low-power mode in which it is always on and connected. If supported, connected standby is used instead of system sleep states.
Connected Standby Supported 	false
Platform Power Management Capabilities:Adaptive Display Brightness is supported.
This computer enables Windows to automatically control the brightness of the integrated display.
Platform Power Management Capabilities:Processor Power Management Capabilities

your machine originally came with Windows 7 and that is what the problem is

Dell and others are notorious for problems upgrading to a new version of Windows, they want you to buy a new box not just the operating system

So what to do? Downgrade it? I'm intrigued because before upgrading I ran a compatibility test to make sure it would run on my machine! No other solution available?

Hi,

After checking your energy report, I noticed that following device prevent system from sleep:

The device or driver has made a request to prevent the system from automatically entering sleep.
Requesting Driver Instance  HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_7605&SUBSYS_10280447&REV_1001\4&1a7958bc&0&0001
Requesting Driver Device  IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

Please run this command as admin to display the power request:

powercfg -requests

Then use this command to disable the power request which prevent sleeping, then check your issue. 

POWERCFG /REQUESTSOVERRIDE <CALLER_TYPE> "<NAME>"

Note:

Caller types: This would be the PROCESS, SERVICE, or DRIVER caller type for a request type.

Caller name: This would be the name of the applications, services, and drivers for a caller type that is making the power availability request.
