I am by no means an expert in anything computer related but I did manage to resolve my sleep issue. At least for now.Any insights would be great!
I would look at it analytically.
1. You implied it previously did sleep. Was this for quite a while and then you now have the sleep problem? If so, what if anything changed?
2. Have you gone through your power settings to make sure you have them set the best way to facilitate sleep? Earlier in this thread there is a checklist.
3. Are you using an MS account? I have found my computer will only sleep reliably if I am using a local account. Others seem to agree.
4. Did you check what processes or drivers may have prevented sleep using powercfg -requests from an elevated Command Prompt? I set overrides for anything that was listed. \FileSystem\srvnet seems to be the main culprit.
5. Related to above are you in a Homegroup? Many say that will cause a sleep issue. I was able to remain in a Homegroup and obtain sleep by doing the process overrides I mentioned.
I would start with some or all of these and see if that helps.
Bru, if we are resolved to only a local account then we are implicitly saying that sleep, using Microsoft built in, is more important than onedrive. Are we assuming that this is the case for most people?
