PC goes to sleep, but won't fully wake up (3rd time in 3 years)
Greetings, friends,
For some reason, every year I seem to get this problem where I can put my PC to sleep, but it won't wake up from sleep state properly.
The CPU lights up and fans power up but keyboard, mouse and monitor are all unresponsive. The only way to recover is to hard reboot PC.
I have changed my card to an NVIDIA instead of Radeon in the previous profile of my PC.
I am attaching the event viewer logs of "System" to help with any early troubleshooting or tips for further information.
Kindly let me know if you have any suggestions for me, or any other information.
Windows 25H2, version 26200.8457

First, disable the Allow this device to wake the computer option for all network adapters and USB devices in Device Manager. Most importantly, make sure to update your graphics card driver.
Keep an eye on Windows Updates. Microsoft is aware of this problem, and a proper fix will eventually come through. Until then, these workarounds should keep your PC waking reliably.
You can do that
This specific version of Windows has a known and documented vulnerability.
Since you mentioned that you are using Windows 25H2 (version number 26200.8457), I would like to first point out that this specific version of Windows has a known and documented vulnerability that can cause a problem that is almost exactly the same as the one you described.
And since you mentioned you're on Windows 25H2 (build 26200.8457), the very first thing I want to point out is that this specific version of Windows has a known, documented bug that causes almost exactly what you're describing.
In Device Manager, disable the Allow this device to wake the computer option for all network adapters and USB devices, and update your graphics card driver.
