Hello @Areeb14
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
HP has created an official articles about such issues, which you need to read/follow >> https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c03383935
Please, perform the necessary updates and software tweaks.
Here are a couple of additional things you may also try :

2. Locate System devices and expand the trail
3. Locate and right click on "Intel (R) Management Engine Interface" then select Properties
4. Select Power management tap
5. And uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
6. Save it and close it.
Turn off Fast Startup
- Click on Start button
- Type control.exe and Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power button does
- Click on “Change settings that are currently unavailable" and Uncheck "Turn on Fast Startup"

Uninstall 3rd party security producyts
Uninstall any 3rd party security apps (firewalls, antivirus, encryption programs) which you may have. If they are not developed correctly, they (their drivers) might prevent Windows from going into Sleep mode properly
Scan your computer for viruses/malware/unwanted apps
.... Run the free ESET Online Scanner >> http://download.eset.com/special/eos/esetonlinescanner_enu.exe

If nothing helped
Avoid using Sleep mode, use Hibernation instead.
Let me know how it goes *after* following all the steps above. Any obstacles ?
