Laptop doesnt power on or go on sleep properly

[stormfire1]

Yo! I have had my laptop for almost 4 years. This issue started a while back when i got a random message on boot that said secure boot was disabled. I enabled it again but until now after every time the laptop dies it gets disabled.

Other than this i usually put my laptop to sleep when i have unsaved work and i can tell its in sleep because the light is blinking, however when i go to open my laptop, i lift the screen up and everything turns off. the whole laptop resets and all my work is gone? As well as these issues when my laptop is off and i turn it on it turns off on boot.

Is the laptop plugged in when sleeping?

If not plugged in the battery can go dead.

It is also possible that a Windows update replaced a device driver with one that is not power efficient.
Some devices that can cause to cause power drain:

USB hubs that can allow charging of devices
Thunderbolt port that can be used to dock with
The Intel Management Engine may tasks some device to maintain power.

Run the following command from the windows administrators command prompt

powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

==============

There are two tools to analyze sleep problems that can occur:

Energy Report	A list of possible problems ranked as Errors, Warnings, or Informational
Sleep Study	The history of sleep going back several days

These report are obtained by using the Administrators command prompt.
Copy and paste the following into the command prompt window for the energy report.

powercfg /energy .\energy-report.html

Note the number of errors and warnings.

Copy and paste the following commands into the same window to get sleep history

powercfg /SleepStudy .\SleepStudy-report.html

Let me know what you find out.
