Dell Inspiron 16 7630 Not Sleeping
Inspiron 16 Plus 7630
So for the last few days, right out of nowhere, my Dell Inspiron 16 7630 won't sleep when I put it to sleep. Which is honestly even more bothersome considering the fact that this laptop takes anywhere between 1-2 minutes to actually go to sleep on a usual basis or might require me to hit "Sleep" again because it takes forever to sleep. But recently for some reason, right after it goes to sleep, the fan comes back on again, sometimes for multiple times.
There is no update that I can see that it requires and I already have the power options set to sleep.
Can someone please help me isolate this problem so I can make my laptop go to sleep quickly when I tell it to? It's become pretty bothersome to hear the fans constantly reactivating when I'm trying to go to sleep at night.

Actually, never mind. I was able to isolate the problem this morning and realized, all this time, what I should've been going for all this time was "Hibernate" and not "Sleep", which is weird because I never had that "Hibernate" option on my old laptop in the nearly six years I had it. I don't see the "Sleep" option any longer and only see the "Hibernate" option in its place, but at this point, I don't think I really care just so long as my new laptop behaves the way I tell it too without taking entire minutes for a simple sleep or hibernate command.

All right, I stand corrected. It actually IS more than once that the fan reactivates.
