Step-2: You will be asked, do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? Select Yes.
Step-3: You can generate an HTML report by using the following command. Type it and press Enter:
powercfg /SleepStudy /output %USERPROFILE%Desktopmysleepstudy.html
Once you press enter, a file will be created on the selected file path labeled mysleepstudy.html.
Step-4: This report generated is for 3 days. If you want to see the report for more days, you can go as high as 28. Type the following command but replace TIME with the number of days. For example, if I want a report of 20 days, I will replace TIME with 20.
powercfg /SleepStudy /output %USERPROFILE%Desktopmysleepstudy.html /Duration TIME
After this, just locate the file and analyze it to see where the problem lies.
