Win 11 appears to be nocturnal
-
If I hit the Sleep button on my keyboard during daytime hours, the PC sleeps exactly as you would expect. However, if I press Sleep late at night, the computer wakes up again after 3 seconds. This will happen exactly 4 times (never varies) and on the 5th attempt, it will reluctantly stay asleep. Not yet established the time this change in behaviour occurs, but it may now become an obsession. I think I'll now check the device for evidence of fang marks, given my suspicion that the PC has joined the ranks of the undead.

Have you tried driving a stake through its power supply? :)

Maybe check some of the suggestions in this thread: PC always wakes right back up when putting to sleep. Happened before and after Win 11 update. [^]

So, the simple solution is, change the theme. Picked a bog-standard one, changed the wallpaper back to what I wanted and oddly enough, Sleep now works as expected. :sigh:
