Dell WIN10 DESKTOP (NOT LAPTOP!) does not wake from sleep
Dell WIN10 DESKTOP (NOT LAPTOP!) does not wake from sleep.
After frustration with sleep issues, PC was set to never sleep and hibernation was DISABLED, hybrid sleep was set to OFF.
PC went into sleep overnight, and cannot be waked.
After manual shutdown & holding for 45 seconds, PC goes immediately back into sleep mode on pressing start button, with light flashing but will not wake up. No opportunity to get control of the PC.
USB wire-connected keyboard & mouse are not "on" and thus not recognized by sleeping system.
IE, NO WAY TO GET COMMAND PROMPT or GET CONTROL OF BOOT or SYSTEM, SO CANNOT TRY THE MANY TIPS FOUND IN FORUMS FOR ENDLESS SLEEP MODE, NOR CAN I UPDATE DRIVERS - sorry for CAPs but I've seen many suggestions, all of which rely on being able to access the BIOS or Safe Start etc, so are not helpful to this case. Thanks in advance for any help!
