If you are a Windows user then you can notice that sometimes we put our system (computer/laptop) into sleep mode when we need the system immediately just after a few minutes. Generally, we put our PC in Sleep Mode when we want to use our system promptly but we don't want to waste our time in booting it.
For example: whenever I go to fast food restaurant (which is quite near to my apartment) to buy ice-cream or cold-drinks then that time i usually put my windows 7 system in Sleep Mode.
But you may feel annoying when sometimes your Windows system will not sleep. I am saying this because i have faced this situation. I have read several comments of Windows users within a few days and many of them are asking about how to fix the problem of Sleep Mode not working in Windows 8.1. I think, generally it happens most with those people who just upgraded Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.
So if you are using windows 8.1 operating system on your PC and it refuses to sleep or won’t go into sleep mode even after trying several times, then this tutorial will help you to fix if sleep mode is not working in Windows 8.1. Here are the simple tips and tricks to fix this problem:
