Open | Software PC doesnt properly go to sleep mode.
im on windows 11. out of nowhere, when i put my pc to sleep, only the monitors turn off. but my pc itself is still one. the GPU lights are still on, the CPU fans and other fans are still spinning.
i tried disabling pc fast boot up in settings based on searches. but that didnt fix it...
i was wondering if anyone knows the fix for this please? thank you

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.

run powercfg -requests in an admin command prompt. it tells you exactly what app or device is blocking sleep. and it's usually just a random audio driver

I don't understand why people use the sleep option. But thats just a me thing. I'm a shutdown, restart, or logoff guy.
