Windows 10: Delayed sleep, shutdown, and restart

Recently I've come across a new feature in adrenaline: Fluid Frames 2. My game was much smoother but every 4 seconds it would lag.I assumed the issue was inferior hardware, because there was no benchmark for FF2 upgraded games, so I used some of the overclocking options in the app, I installed new drivers, and i flashed the latest stable version of BIOS.Ever since then, my PC takes 5 minutes to shutdown, and seems to hang indefinitely when put to sleep. The problem goes away after I perform a system restore or delete latest update, but it later comes back regardless.Is my hardware damaged or w

Driver Power State Failure on restart, shutdown, sleep

All 3 commands completed successfully on first attempt. SFC did not find any integrity violations.

What would you like me to do next?

I went ahead and turned off driver verifier, rebooted which worked without having to force shutdown.

I then tested shutdown, restart and sleep. All worked properly this time. So currently it is working as intended. However, nothing that I did immediately fixed the problem or was noticeably the solution. It was either a delayed fixed from a previous step or something else. Do you see anything that would explain what fixed the problem?

Computer started shutting down properly after performing this step...

"Enable Driver Verifier again with all standard settings and 3 additional settings (force pending i/o request, irp logging and ndis/wifi verification) and for verify tick all 3rd party drivers and 2 Microsoft drivers (NDIS.sys and raspppoe.sys)"

 

How to delay power sequence?

I am currently trying to find out if there is a way to delay the shutdown / restart / sleep sequence.

I am sometimes not careful and instead of clicking the sleep option for my computer I click the shutdown / restart button causing my computer to do that thing INSTANTLY.

I am trying to find out how to delay the INSTANTLY part into something like having a two step sequence to confirm my option, or a timed option that will do it anyways in X amount of seconds.

If there is one, how to turn on that option?
