Got installed Windows 10 and now my PC woudn't stay in "Sleep" or Hibernate" mode. It would shut down for few minutes and the woud come back on it's own without anybody being even near the computer. Before had Windows 7 and didn't have this problem.

Welcome to the forums @Aleksandra0610 :).

It could be that one of your peripheral devices is waking your PC up once it goes to sleep. Could you try unplugging anything USB that you don't need and see if that helps - if so that will narrow down the problem.

If it looks like it is a USB device waking the PC, you can then go to Device Manger > Problematic USB Device > Right Click > Properties > Power Management and then untick "Allow this device to wake the computer".
