If you use a Windows laptop or desktop, you might know that the operating system offers you quite a few battery-saving features. For example, on Windows 10 and 11, you get a sleep mode that saves the battery power and shuts down the hard disk to maintain its health.
Although sleep mode is useful, many users were facing problems with it. Many users have reported that while their PC is in sleep mode, it automatically wakes up. This is not a big issue but could be frustrating if this happens at regular intervals.
