Hello, this problem started after upgrading to windows 10, It will go to sleep if I press the sleep button, but will not go to sleep after 10 minutes like i have it set to


 
Hi,

Have you tried changing some settings in Device Manager because sometimes your Wifi or LAN or other devices prevents your laptop from going into sleep mode.
- Open Device Manager and start by check the wifi adapter.
- Right click on it then go to Properties and once open click on Power Management tab then remove the check on "Allow this device to wake the computer".
- Do also check the LAN drivers and other 3rd party devices.
- Just make sure that the keyboard and mouse is set to wake up your PC. :)

Maybe you have some programs keeping it awake, e.g. uTorrent? Check your tray

Also, since you didn't mention you checked, go to Power Management and check whether sleep after XX option is active

EDIT: Sorry, you in fact mentioned you got it set
