Windows 11 battery draining in sleep mode

Hi everyone,

After the upgrade to Windows 11, I've found that my laptop won't go to sleep after closing the lid. The fan keeps making noise with the lid closed, and the battery is drained.

When opening the lid again, the computer won't respond to anything (blank screen, power button does nothing, keyboard doesn't respond), but it's active because the fan is working.

This was working fine before the upgrade and is a major problem, because the battery dies pretty quickly.

Laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad 530 i7 8 GB ram.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best!

David

    This is the way mine looks when the screen is off. These were very short sessions so I will let it continue and catch some longer ones.

    The other difference is My system in an older Intel processor, so that might cause a difference. Could you verify you have made no changes to your system related to solving the Modern Standby situation?

    I am letting my system do a sleep/wake session now but it may take another couple of hours to get a complete list in that log.

    I have been looking at the logs for about 5 years now. There have been changes during that time so the logs would look a little different. But I have not seen one that does not at least show a couple of offenders.

    My system is not Win 11, so we will see if my log differs from yours.

    In your attachment, the green areas are not a problem. The one orange/pink line you show seems to indicate 5% of the battery was used in 23 minutes. So you need to look in those pink areas to see the offenders.

    If nothing suggested by the others helps and If you want to report this to Microsoft use the Feedback Hub app in Start Menu where developers are tasked to process consumer feedback. They will not even see it here. This is a tech forums staffed mostly by volunteers trying to help others with your problems.

    Additionally, to make sure it gets seen if you're a Windows Insider you can report it in the Windows 11 Insider forums here which is monitored by developers:

    I hope it helps.
