HP Spectre x360 13t Throttling: A Troubleshooting Nightmare

As a proud owner of the HP Spectre x360 13t, I was excited to dive into its features and capabilities. However, my enthusiasm was short-lived as I encountered a series of issues that have left me scratching my head. Specifically, I'm experiencing problems with sleep mode, where my laptop refuses to resume properly after entering a standby state.

The first hurdle is getting the system to enter sleep mode in the first place. According to the powercfg -AVAILABLESLEEPSTATES command, my system configuration reports that hibernate works normally when enabled, but I'd prefer it if we could get the actual sleep mode to function. Unfortunately, attempting to put my laptop into standby results in a diagnostic screen appearing briefly, followed by a fresh boot.

When trying to resume from sleep, things only get worse. The screen remains black, and the keyboard is unresponsive, except for the backlight. Even the mute buttons don't illuminate as expected. It's as if the laptop has forgotten how to wake up properly. Adding insult to injury, the only way to shut down the device is by pressing and holding the power button for 6-8 seconds.

I've tried various troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue, including updating graphics drivers, disabling Link Power Management for the Optane module, adjusting display, sleep, hibernate, and hard drive timers, and enabling/disabling Fast Startup, Hibernate, Wake Timers, and USB Selective Suspend. Unfortunately, none of these attempts have yielded a successful outcome.

To make matters more frustrating, this issue is experienced both on battery power and when plugged into the mains. I've also tried restarting my laptop multiple times to rule out any software glitches, but the problem persists.

As someone who's not an IT expert, I'm at a loss for what to do next. That's why I'm reaching out to the community in the hopes that someone may have experienced similar issues with their HP Spectre x360 13t and can offer some guidance on how to resolve this frustrating problem.

If you're familiar with the issue or have any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting, please share your expertise. I'd be eternally grateful for any help in getting my laptop back to its former glory.
