    Hello Dyldonic,

    Sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue.

    It could be being caused by a few settings in the Power Options. Please carefully follow the steps below.

    1. Click the Start Menu and select Control Panel.
    2. Click System and Maintenance and then click Power Options.
    (You now should be on 'select a power plan page)
    3. Click change plan setting, next to the one which is currently selected.
    4. Click change advanced settings.
    5. Navigate to Power buttons and lid and expand the dropdown.
    6. After expanding it, click on Power button action.
    7. Click on settings and select the action sleep.

    I hope this information helps to resolve your issue and if not, reply back and I'll help you further.

    Thank you,
    VinnyBuxton
