Key notes
You put your laptop or PC into Sleep Mode only to find out that Windows 11 restarts instead. We have stumbled across this problem at Windows Report and if Windows 11 keeps restarting after sleep, the tested solutions below will help you fix it.

1. Disable automatic restart
Our readers also had problems withWindows crashing after sleepbut this guide will provide helpful solutions to fix it.
2. Change the power option for the CPU
Changing the power plan settings will prevent your laptop from going to sleep too soon and prevent power issues. You may also change the settings for the hard drive while you are in the Power Options menu.
3. Turn off fast startup
Fast Startup is a great feature that helps you boot your PC faster but the WR software test team has discovered thatdisabling itfixes many booting and rebooting issues, including the ones where Windows 11 randomly restarts.
4. Change the virtual memory settings
5. Run an SFC scan
If Windows 11 restarts after hibernate or sleep, that is a sign of a corrupted system and SFC will fix any system file corruption.
It is also a good idea to look at the system event log and get more information about this issue. To do that, open Event Viewer and go to System Logs>System.
Other problems you may encounter
The bottom line is that when Windows 11 restarts after sleep, our WR software team recommends disabling the automatic restart, changing the power options, turning off fast startup, changing the virtual memory settings, and repairing the system to prevent the issue.
