Windows 11 PC Sleep Mode Issue: Unresponsive Wake-Up and Fast-Spinning Fans

I am encountering a problem with my Windows 11 PC where it fails to wake up from sleep mode. The only solution I've found to turn it back on is by manually switching off the power supply and then switching it back on. Additionally, I've noticed that as soon as I initiate sleep mode, my computer's fans start spinning at a high speed. This issue began occurring randomly, and I have not made any recent updates or changes to my system.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken So Far:

  1. Checked for Windows Updates: I ensured that my Windows 11 is up to date with the latest updates and patches.
  2. Driver Updates: I have also verified that all my device drivers are up to date.
  3. Power Settings: I reviewed and adjusted my power settings
  4. Enabled & Disabled Fast Startup and Hibernate

    It would be really nice if MS would bother to review these issues.

    I have the same issues as well. This only happens when the PC goes to sleep "automatically". When I manually put the PC to sleep, this problem does not occur (That I have noticed)

    Sleep mode comes on after 5 seconds. Then it wants my code but it will not let me type my code.

    I am also facing the same Issue to My Inspiron 15 3535 Laptop . I have purchased dell laptop 6 month back since last 15 days this problem started some time it starts from sleep mode sometimes doesn't i have to restart manually

    Yeah, have given up on this issue, Microsoft doesn't seems to care much either. So I just turn off the computer instead, and turned off sleep mode totally.
