When I quit for the day on my PC I always used "sleep" instead of shutdown. The monitor would go black and after a few seconds the power would shut down. That was normal. Now when I tell it to sleep the monitor goes black, the PC never powers down and after about 10 seconds does like a mini reboot then comes back on including the monitor. I have uninstalled any recent software that I've loaded. Even though I had my hard drive and monitor settings to never go to sleep from inactivity I was still able to tell it to sleep when quitting for the day. I am using Windows 10. I built this PC a year or so ago, so it's not a name brand. Everything else on my computer is OK except for this sleep issue. I can always tell it to "shutdown" but I would much rather have it go into sleep mode. Any help will be much appreciated. If there is any more info you need let me know. Thanks.

Also check for running processes that cause nightmares, preventing a good night's sleep. You can check by running
powercfg -requests
from an admin command prompt.
