Hello, IqniteTechnologies
Welcome to Microsoft Community.
Even though it might seem like background apps aren't causing any issues, they can actually lead to system problems in certain situations. It's a bit presumptive to assume they can't cause trouble. I suggest trying a clean boot. This is a troubleshooting technique that helps identify software conflicts by starting the system with only the essential drivers and startup programs. This way, you can see if a third-party app or service is causing the issue. If the problem goes away after a clean boot, it likely means a third-party program is to blame. You can then gradually enable the disabled services and startup items to pinpoint the exact software causing the problem. These steps might seem a bit complex at first glance, but it's important to follow them carefully to avoid unnecessary complications.

Checking the sleep report is also a useful approach. The sleep report provides detailed information about what happens when your system enters and exits sleep mode, including which processes are still running and any abnormal activities. To generate a sleep report, search for Command Prompt in the Start menu, run it as an administrator, and enter the following command:
powercfg /sleepstudy
The sleep report will usually be saved in this path:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\Documents\SleepStudy
You can open the HTML file in this directory with a browser to view the detailed sleep report. If you find the report hard to understand, you can share it with me using a cloud service like Google Drive or OneDrive, and I can help you analyze it. This way, we can more accurately identify the root cause of the problem.
