Notebook doesn't go into sleep mode and doesn't react anymore

[DeProfiteur]

Lately when I try to put my laptop into sleepmode, it doesn't fully go into sleepmode. You can still hear the fan spin. It won't stop by itself. Turning on the laptop is not possible. The only way out is to press the power button for a couple seconds, till the laptop is off. Very annoying since all progress is lost.

This problem doesn't occur every time. Only sometimes. 

I figured this topic: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Boot-and-Lockup/Blank-screen-after-sleep-mode/m-p/7194889 might solve the problem but unfortunately it hasn't.

5. To change more power settings, click Change advanced power settings.

   

6. On the Advanced settings tab, select the power plan from the drop-down menu, and then expand the category you want to customize. Expand each setting you want to change, and then choose the values you want to use.

   

7. When done, click OK.

8. Restart the computer.

Check for Windows update

If the PC does not wake up from sleep or hibernate mode, try these steps:

3. Click the Power management tab.

   If you are prompted for an Administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

4. Select the box next to Allow this device to wake the computer.

   

5. Click OK.

If the issue persists, run Windows power troubleshooter.
