Windows 11 laptop won’t sleep, stays awake all night
I close the lid or put it to sleep but my Windows 11 laptop just stays on. The fan keeps running and battery drains. I’ve checked power settings but nothing fixes it.

In Control Panel > Power Options, set When the lid is closed” to Sleep, and in Device Manager, disable the Allow this device to wake the computer option for all USB devices.
