Can wake timers be cancelled from the command prompt or a script?

I have been trying until I bleed to stop Windows 10 waking from sleep, but it seems there is absolutely no way of stopping it setting wake timers to perform updates. So I am reduced to running "powercfg -waketimers" every time I put the machine to sleep
and then disabling any wake timers in the task scheduler control panel, which takes an annoying amount of time. Is there instead a way of cancelling wake timers from the command line, and would it be possible to automate the cancelling of wake timers with
a script?

 

After installing Windows 10 (July 2015) my Surface does not sleep automatically, why?

I had expanded everything that looked as though it could expand. :-}

But, since I last wrote I found this page:

How to Prevent Your Computer From Waking Up Accidentally

I finally made my way to the sleep command and disabled all the "Allow wake timers". I'll know in a day or two if that works and get back to this thread.

That sleep command was in -

Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings

Then "Change advanced power settings"

Then scroll down to 'Sleep'

Open that and scroll to 'Allow wake timers'

Open that and change the settings.

I am keeping my fingers crossed!

In CMD you can use "timeout" or in PowerShell you can use "Start-Sleep" to start a 180s timer. Just create a script with the timeout command followed by the SetSuspendSleep command.

Or if you want it in one line you can do
Code: timeout /t 180&&rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Sleep[/quote]

 

[/quote] ty i actually thought timeout or sleep command but wasnt sure thnx

for some reason it doesnt work lol .. powershell doesnt recognize && operator so to line bat scripted worked

 

Sorry, forgot to mention that "&&" only works in CMD. You use ";" to concatenate commands in PowerShell.
