Windows 10 takes a long time to go to sleep

[iMurd]

For a few weeks now my PC has taken a long time to turn off after telling it to sleep. Normally it would be within seconds from putting it to sleep for it to turn off, but now it can take up to 10+ minutes. After clicking on sleep, the monitor turns off immediately but the keyboard and mouse lights stay on. It's a different amount of time each night, but it takes a few minutes for my keyboard+mouse lights to turn off after my monitor has gone to sleep and even longer until the rest goes to sleep. So far I haven't had any other issues, it wakes up fine but going to sleep takes forever.

My Windows is all up to date and has been happening before and after the latest update. I don't have any new background processes that might be keeping it up, I've had it go to sleep within 3 minutes while last night it took 11 minutes.

It could be an app preventing Windows from entering Sleep mode.
Open Command Prompt as Admin and type:
'powercfg -requests'
You will see a list of all active power requests and they should return an empty result, otherwise check which is prompting the power request.

Running the Power troubleshooting and see if the fixes the issue
Open the Control Panel and click Troubleshooting.
Click the 'View all' link then click 'Power' to start the troubleshooter.

There wasn't any power requests and the troubleshooting said it fixed the issue, but it only fixed the long amount of time for my keyboard and mouse to go to sleep. My PC still takes 3-5 minutes to go to sleep and the troubleshooting only switches the setting to tell my PC to go to sleep after 30 minutes instead of an hour.

Could you post your system specs.

Go to Power and sleep > Additional power settings > Choose when to turn off the display > Change advanced power settings > Restore plan defaults.

IDK what your storage solution is, but do you have an unresolved issue with a mirror sync ongoing, or something like that? Check to see what is going on in Disk Manager?

I'm on the latest version of Windows, I have an AMD FX 8350 processor, 16 GB of RAM, Asrock 970 Extreme4, and a GTX 1060 6GB. I restored the plan defaults and it still takes 4 minutes until it goes to sleep. It wakes up in 10 seconds and everything is perfectly fine besides the sleep time.

I don't see anything wrong when I go into Disk Management. It says everything is healthy.

Disable hybrid sleep mode
Go to Power Options -> Change Plan Settings -> Sleep -> Allow hybrid sleep -> Setting -> Off

Thank you! That fixed it and my PC went to sleep in 15 seconds.
