    Been trying to disable sleep mode in windows 10.I have done all the basic steps to disable the function in windows 10.When the system starts to go into sleep mode the video card fan's spin up really fast and down really fast i can hear them when i sleep.

    The sleep function in windows 10 20h2 seems to be broken.Any ideas???

    The fan's don't do this while it's fully on only in sleep mode.It's being controlled by MSI afterburner.

    Ummm, sleep mode works fine in W10 20h2. The problem is your system.

    And understand, if you disable sleep mode, what is going to happen? Your computer will stay awake. And your components will cool down enough when idle for their fans to turn off. But since those components are still awake, heat will eventually build up again, forcing the fans to come back on. An endless cycle.

    You need to find out what is keeping your computer awake so it can go completely into sleep mode. Note this is very often caused by a USB device, like a flash drive, or external drive. Set your power settings back to the default settings (balanced). Disconnect all USB devices (except keyboard and mouse), then do a "cold" reboot.

    By “cold”, I mean shut down the computer and flip the master power switch on the back of the power supply (if your supply has one) to off (or “0”) or unplug the power supply from the wall for about 15 seconds. Then turn the master power switch to on (or “1”) or reconnect power and boot up and see what happens. By totally removing power, you remove the +5Vsb standby voltage all ATX Form Factor power supplies are required to supply whenever the power supply is plugged into the wall and (if applicable) the master power switch is set to on. This standby voltage is distributed throughout several points on the motherboard, including RAM for faster boots and the USB ports too. This also keeps alive several features, including “wake on keyboard” and “wake on mouse”, and the network interface for “Wake on LAN” commands. A cold reboot ensures any device settings that may be held by the standby voltage are released, then reset when power is restored.
