Computer Restarts in Sleep or Does not Complete Wake Up Fully

Hi Microsoft Community,

I’ve been facing an issue with Windows 11 on my PC, and I’m hoping someone here can help.

When I leave my PC to automatically sleep, I come back only to find that the computer has actually restarted while it was asleep. The computer is still only asleep because a simple movement of the mouse or tap on the keyboard wakes it up, but then I find that everything I was working on is closed and lost or has to be auto-recovered.

Here are a few details:

• OS: Windows 11 Home (latest updates installed)
• Device: Core i9
• BIOS and drivers are up to date to my knowledge
• No major third-party software recently installed besides adobe acrobat.

This issue has been going on for some time but I only recently realized it because I am writing a term paper and keep having to save everything before I leave my computer to sleep now.

I’ve already tried:

• Disabling fast startup
• Running the Power Troubleshooter
• Updating GPU drivers via Device Manager (nothing needed it)

I have also disabled the automatic restart, changed the power options, turning off fast startup, changing the virtual memory settings, and repairing the system to prevent the issue.  

Still no luck. I have conducted a clean reboot to see if it is an app doing it.

Has anyone experienced this, and is there a known fix or setting I should tweak? Could this be a driver or power management issue?

I thought the bios driver update I did fixed the issue, but now I am running into a similar problem, where the computer will partially wake from sleep, but will not get through its power up. My keyboard will remain off, and screens will not connect.

I do not think it is waking all the way properly, indicated by my fans not changing to the correct color I set them as along with the recognition of the screen and keyboard. Then, when I power it off to restart it, the fans stay on. Something is really off.

I have attached my log file and minidumps in this link here:

In desperate need of help!
