Try removing the network cable if you have a wired connection, then clicking the sleep button to see if it's wake on lan. Mine will restart straight away with the network cable plugged in, but not with it unplugged. I will get round to disabling wake on lan in the bios one day.

Well it appears our issues are similar after all.
I've never actually bothered to wait for the sleep to kick in, just come back to the PC an hour later and it's still going.
Just been sat doing something on my phone, and the PC apparently went to sleep, screen went off, then a few seconds later came back on again
It will sleep okay if I choose that option from the menu, so I've created a shortcut as detailed here https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/win10-sleep-shortcut.html
so I can hit it before leaving the PC.

I have just swopped out one of my PC's,
This is an old i5 HP PC
3.2Gb, 8Gb ram, SSD
Likewise, I set my NAS drives to go to sleep,
The Kitchen PC would not wake them,
I looked into everything,
Tried this,
Tried that,
Change this setting,
Try adding this,
To no avail,
It turns out it has no WOL
What I find odd about this, is WOL is for the PC to be 'woken up' by another PC or what ever online,
But it also seems my PC will not wake anything else up, it will not send a 'magic packet'

Mine wakes up with the slightest movement of the mouse, so I just hibernate it every night, which is just as good. It's not an instant re-awakening like sleep, but a fast re-boot which ends up with the screen in the state I last saw it.
I have to migrate hyberfil.sys to the NVME stick and make it faster. It's quick enough from the SSD, but faster is betterer.

Bugger, it seems I can't do that, as hyberfil.sys has to be on the boot drive (which is SSD). The NVME drive is simply in there as a fast access storage drive for VMs, etc.
However, next Win10 VM I create I will get the benefit of that.
Getting closer to moving this box over to Mint and hosting W10 again.
