    Hello,

    If Wake Source Count is 0, it usually means the PC is not waking up by a device, but something is preventing it from entering sleep correctly.

    Please check what is blocking sleep:

    1.Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run the following command,

    then press Enter:

    powercfg /requests

    2.Then run the next command and press Enter:

    powercfg /devicequery wake_armed

    3.Try a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Some background apps can block sleep after running for a while.

    Since reboot temporarily fixes it, something is getting stuck over time.

    The commands above will help identify the exact cause.

    When did this issue start happening?
