Windows 10: Computer waking from sleep after update

Hi,

A while back I had an issue where my computer would randomly turn on after being put to sleep/hibernate. I got incredibly frustrated because I would end up waking up in the middle of the night to find out it had turned itself on, or when I got back from work.

At some point I finally found a fix (which I have forgotten) and no longer had the issue... until now. I recently installed a windows update which seems to have reintroduced the problem. Here is what I get:

Code: C:\Users\Daniel>powercfg -lastwakeWake History Count - 1Wake History [0] Wake Source Count - 1 Wake Source [0] Type: Device Instance Path: PCI\VEN_1B21&DEV_1142&SUBSYS_85BF1043&REV_00\4&373d9d05&0&00E4 Friendly Name: Description: ASMedia USB3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Manufacturer: ASMedia Technology Inc[/quote] Code: C:\Users\Daniel>powercfg -devicequery wake_armedRazer BlackWidow Ultimate (001)HID Keyboard Device (002)HID Keyboard Device (003)Razer BlackWidow Ultimate (002)HID-compliant mouse (001)[/quote] (please bear in mind that the above devices have always had the ability to wake the computer but has not been an issue before)

I have tried the following solutions given in:

and

How to *disable* automatic reboots in Windows 10? - Super User

without any luck.

I just want to prevent ANY software process from initiating a startup. It's that simple. The only allowed wake should be if I'm pressing the power button or keyboard. Surely there is a way to do this that doesn't involve some complex/hacky process that gets wiped during each windows update?

computer wake-up after sleep

Hi Bill,

There's a possibility that the settings that enables your Space bar to wake your computer up from sleep was reset after updating Windows. If this what had happened, we suggest that you just re-set it up. See the steps below on how to do
so:

• Press Windows key and type keyboard in.
• Click on Keyboard option and a pop-up windows should show up.
• From there, go to > Hardware tab > Properties >
  Change settings > Power management > Allow this device to wake the computer >
  OK/Apply.

Try the if the steps did work and let us know any updates.

Did all the steps exactly as shown above and "Allow this device to wake the computer" was already selected.

I think you might have miss-understood the problem. It appears that the computer is waking up, but it doesn't re-connect to my display. I have to turn off the display and turn it back on to get my display to to re-connect. This was not a problem prior to
the last Win 10 upgrade.

 

wake from sleep issue in windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your reply. Apologize for the delay in response.

I suggest you to check which devices are configured to wake up the computer from sleep by following the steps below:

• Right click on Start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type the command line below:

Powercfg /devicequery wake_armed

3. Check if the devices (Keyboard, Mouse, Ethernet cable) are listed.

If the system is not going to sleep and going to Hybernate, the only option to wake up is to press the Power button.

Hope the information is helpful.
