I just observed my computer failing to shut down after the update. I've verified the power options remain unchanged previously. Are there other factors I should investigate?

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Power > PowerSettings > 238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F20 and set the DWORD value to 2. Alternatively, use powercfg -attributes SUB_SLEEP 7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0 with -ATTRIB_HIDE if you favor cmd to regedit.

Executed powercfg -requests to check the status. The NVIDIA audio driver appears to be blocking sleep functionality. Proceeding with an update to resolve the issue.

It seems Firefox is interfering with your sleep and linked to the audio driver. I attempted to bypass it, but results aren’t promising. I can close Firefox, though I rely on it for several downloads that can take a long time.
