put 'suspend when inactive' to 45 minutes or whatever you want. then exit that

[shy ravine]

ok

[cursive brook]

you can also have it suspend when the power button is pressed

or leave it as is on "ask" then choose from the popup

[shy ravine]

It still doesn't work

[cursive brook]

wdym?

u have to wait 45 minutes to test

or choose the power icon in the start menu: then click "suspend"

[shy ravine]

it still goes to the lock screen when I suspend

[dense wagon]

stunner still doesnt understand what the issue is

[cursive brook]

open the system settings

go to Screensaver and double click it. then show a screenshot

[dense wagon]

I want to know one thing.

[shy ravine]

[cursive brook]

very simple. no big talking, no long typing

click the power icon in the start menu

in the resulting popup menu, click "suspend"

then let go the mouse immediately

what happens?

[shy ravine]

nothing because I have lock the computer when put to sleep

[cursive brook]

no YOU DONT!!*

just CLICK SUSPEND!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUSPEND

[shy ravine]

I did and nothing

[cursive brook]

Then it's fucked

@dense wagon all yours.

[cursive brook]

turn off that blue toggle

check in BIOS of wake-on-LAN is on. If it is, turn it off

and disable TPM in security settings while you're there.

[shy ravine]

still nothing when I click suspend

[dense wagon]

can you open driver manager and then install the "recommended" driver?

[cursive brook]

they're not related directly.

the issue seems your TPM is enabled (known to cause systems not to go dormant)

or Wake-on-LAN activity is enabled.

[shy ravine]

so I have to turn off my pc ok

[cursive brook]

thirdly, check the BIOS's processor's/ motherboards sleep state support.. S0 should be on

S0 , S1 .. whatever.

they should be supported/enabled if u find the setting

[shy ravine]

Where do I go?

@cursive brook

I don't see TPM

[dense wagon]

ping me when you install the Nvidia driver

[shy ravine]

ok do I restart?

@dense wagon

now the screen doesn't fit right

@dense wagon

I'm going back to the open-source driver the screen fits properly with it

After doing all the updates, now my PC suspends

[cursive brook]

oh good. cuz it seems TPM is a real pain or impossible to get to on ur board

nevermind. it's easy
