I'm running Windows 10 Home Edition (Build: 10240 I think?) on a Sony Vaio SVF14N13CXB (Vaio Flip 14A). My wireless card (which I replaced myself a year or so ago is an Intel wireless AC 7260.
I reinstalled Windows a week or two ago to try and get all the crap cleared from my system. Prior to this I was experiencing none of the problems that I now am. They are including but not limited to:

-My laptop does not always go to sleep when I close the lid

-When I open the lid of my laptop, %90 of the time I have to press the power button and I see the Vaio splash screen as if the computer is turning on (rather than just waking from sleep)

-My hard drive clicks incessantly just after I turn the laptop on or bring it back from sleep. I thought the drive might be dying but I ran diagnostics that said it was healthy, and this never happened before reinstalling windows so my guess is that's the real issue.

-Sometimes when I wake the computer from sleep I see the BIOS recovery telling me that no OS could be found, but when I restart my computer it will boot straight into windows with all the programs I had previously running. This is very strange to me.

-Many other problems that my guess is, stem from whatever is causing the preceding problems.
My guess is driver issues, but I don't know what drivers would be causing these issues. I've updated all the drivers I could and looked at power options to try and fix the sleep issue, but to no avail. I really don't know what's going on and can't find any specific answers online. Please help!

I would have guessed that too, but I used the laptop for a month with windows 10 with no issues. Then reinstalling messed it all up.
