Solve : First PC build, sleep question?

Answer» <html><body><p>A few weeks ago, I built my <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/first-461760" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FIRST">FIRST</a> PC, and I’ve been seeing unexpected behavior around how it sleeps. I’m hoping someone here may be able to help me.<br/><br/>If I go to the Windows start menu and press Sleep through that menu, then the PC appears to go in some kind of deeper sleep, characterized by:<br/><br/>- the monitor turns off<br/>- the power button light is no longer lit constantly. It instead starts <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/blinking-899405" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BLINKING">BLINKING</a> on and off.<br/>- all RGB lights turn off<br/>- all fans turn off<br/><br/>This is the behavior I expect (and desire) from sleep mode. However, if I instead let the computer sleep due to inactivity, a different kind of mode is entered.<br/><br/>- the monitor turns off<br/>- the power button remains lit, and flashes as if the SSD is being written/read from<br/>- the RGB lights stay on<br/>- the fans stay on<br/><br/>My goal is for the PC to enter the same kind of sleep mode due to inactivity that it enters when I manually choose to sleep it through the start menu.<br/><br/>Here’s what I’ve tested:<br/><br/>- I’ve <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/made-1082584" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MADE">MADE</a> sure that “Put the computer to sleep” is not set to Never. I usually <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/keep-527902" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about KEEP">KEEP</a> it at around 20 minutes, but this morning I’ve been testing with it at 2minutes.<br/>- I disabled Hybrid Sleep in advanced settings.<br/>- I ran powercfg /energy set to 300ms, but it only ran for 117ms, which seems to suggest that the sleep mode is working if this is an indicator that it stopped the process at 2 minutes. <br/><br/>Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be going on? Or any tips that might help me debug this further? Thank you!</p></body></html>
