Windows 10: ACPI wakeup timer wakes laptop 3hs after sleep

Hi

I've seen this posted several times and no solutions given so I don't have much hope.

My Gigabyte AERO 15 laptop wakes itself up automatically 3 hs after I set it to sleep.

I noticed it woke up but I only noticed the 3hs period after running the "powercfg /SLEEPSTUDY" command and noticing that all the sleep periods that ended with a wakeup due to ACPI Wake Alarm lasted exactly 3 hours.

When opening the section in that element called "Detailed OS State Data" I can see that there is a programmed wakeup timer set exactly upon entering sleep. All standard solutions such as disabling wakeup timers have been tried with no results.

Can please someone help me?

As of now I cannot leave my comp in a sleep state for ex inside a backpack and trust it will remain so after 3 hs.

Thanks!

In this screenshot you can see that upon entering sleep at 1:07:22 the computer sets a ProgrammedWakeTime at 4:07:22 - in all cases it is the same, exactly 3 hs after sleep

Sleep Wake Timers

Hi Justin,

To change the sleep wake timer, what I can suggest is to check the instructions provided on this
link.

Let us know how it goes.

 

laptop with windows 10 wake up by itself (and drain my battery)

It happens couple of times since I have windows 10 installed on my laptop

I troubleshoot a bit but can't find out what's causing it

troubleshooting steps

1. open command prompt and type 'powercfg -lastwake'

Result: wake history count - 1

wake history [0]

wake source count - 0

OK, it does wake up but doesn't tell me anything

2. 'powercfg - devicequery wake_armed

Result: HID keyboard and mouse

I know that I do not have HID keyboard, so this is not the problem. Mouse I have is bluetooth mouse, but I always turn it off.

Action: I turned off both devices, but still wake up the laptop

3. find out the wakeup timers

powercfg -waketimers

Result: no wakeup timers in the system

4. find out from poweroption -> advanced settings

in Sleep -> allow wakeup timers, the default is on battery: disable , plugged in : important wake timers only

I know that my laptop only wake up while it's on battery as it drains it to almost 0 twice, and this setting is disable

So I am out of clue on what's waking up the laptop.

Can someone help me troubleshot?

Thanks.
