Over the last couple of weeks my PC (running Windows 10) has suddenly refused to wake after going into sleep mode. I've tried every piece of advice I can find online and nothing seems to fix it. Anyone got any suggestions, or am I going to have to reformat the thing this weekend?? :(

Have you tried the Mrs Chickenrunner technique? This would involve jabbing the thing with your elbow and shouting "JOHN, YOU'RE SNORING" 😴🙄

pretty sure the answer will be some setting in 'control panel', 'power options', 'change plan' somewhere. make sure all the 'sleep' related options are set properly, ie things like don't allow usb ports to sleep etc. try switching out of sleep mode, switch pc off/on, then back on if you really want to use it. make sure settings for keyboard & mouse are set to "allow device to wake". make sure bios is upto date. make sure you have latest updates by ticking "receive latest optional updates" from withing windows update. failing all that, kick the shiite out of it and call it a heap of microsoft crap.
 
I suspect given its got Windows 10 on its probably at least 4 or 5 years old my guess would be the cmos battery is flat and not retaining the power management settings in the bios its a dead simple job to replace the battery . If you power off completely when it boots back up before wiindows any different messages which flash up quickly or unusual beeps.
 
I have only read the title, why dont you contact the PCs sergeant to stop him sleeping on the job.

Failing that try lying it down in the road, it may slow the traffic down.
 
It happened to my Hamster once when I was a kid, luckily the next morning it was fine it did change colour though and grew a little bit. Maybe when you wake up tomorrow morning your PC will be windows 11 and a different brand but working perfectly 🤷.
 
I think,fro my childhood memory.. I think it needs a kiss from a prince . Something about the fact it really wanted to be a bad apple
