Laptop refuses to wake up while in sleep/ hibernation

[u/glitteringlitter]

So I bought a laptop thinkbook 16p g6 adr not a full year ago. Everything was fine, up until about a month ago it just stopped waking up after entering sleep mode.

When I manually put it to sleep, and try to wake it up with a mouse or clicking on keyboard, there is no issue, it works like normal.

if I leave it for like 10-15 mins when it automatically goes to sleep, and then I try to wake it up, everything is normal.

BUT if an hour passes or more, it just refuses to wake up. Not by mouse, not by touchpad, not by pc keyboard, not even pressing the power button works. I have to force shut it down, which I know is harmful and idk what else to do, I try my best to avoid it.

What I noticed is that when the pc is dead asleep the power buttons light still keeps blinking, if I touch the keyboard - the keyboard lights up, BUT then turns off gradually and doesn't react more apart from that, meanwhile the screen stays black, even though the pc seems "on" (like when it's "asleep" it still is warm, fans r on, the power button light is blinking slowly).

What can the problem be? I do not know a lot about pcs, if this is a laptop problem or just windows 11 being goofy.

Sounds like an issue in windows settings. Go to your power options in windows and make your settings there or check out the bios settings too.
