    Is it a laptop? If yes, return to default the power option settings and use the recommended power plan.

    Looks from your report like Windows Media Player is preventing your system from sleeping, in power options check your settings under "multimedia settings" as they usually default to "prevent idling to sleep".

        Doesn't look like there's anything stopping it sleeping from that report - you just have USB device suspension disabled which shouldn't cause an issue, I have that disabled and my system goes to sleep if I want it to.

        Is there any pattern to when it refuses to sleep?  E.g. do you have a certain program open, or is it after doing something specific?

        E-mail app phoning home...
        A/V protection app updating...
        MS updates...

        Or it could be any app running in the background.

        See if your Power Management tab on each USB Devices/Hub then untick the option.
