Software Protection Service Waking Computer

Hi,

I understand you concern, if you have installed any recent software then this might be triggering the SPS. As of now, I suggest you to please check the status of SPS in services:

• 
  Press Windows Key + R.
  
• 
  Type services.
  
• 
  Check what state the service for SPS is, it should be in
  Automatic, if it is stopped suggest to change it to Automatic.
  

Regards.

 

Microsoft software protection platform (sppsvc) any other fixes for this?

Hello WulfBreaker,

Microsoft Software Protection Platform Service is a technology that is aimed at helping prevent piracy and protect customers from software tampering while making licensing easier to manage.
Try to disable the SvcRestartTask command. Here's how:

1. Click the Start menu button, type scheduled task and open Scheduled tasks.
2. Enter Task Scheduler Library, then Microsoft,
   Windows, and finally SoftwareProtectionPlatform.
3. Right-click on SvcRestartTask, and choose Disable.
4. In case there are two or more such processes, delete the duplicates.

If the issue still persists, some users suggested using a third-party software to disable the said service. You can check the suggested steps from
Ellio_tt in this thread.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards.
