    Displays go to sleep, then wake up shortly after, then stay asleep


    Ongoing issue with computer displays waking up. I have my monitors set to go to sleep at 3 minutes. Some time after (3-10 minutes) they go to sleep, they will wake back up and then go to sleep again after 3 minutes. After it does it once, doesn't seem to happen again. It's fairly consistent. I'm reading about looking in the event log for Power-Troubleshooter events, but there are none. Oh, did the sleepstudy report as well, doesn't show much other than maybe the UPS is telling it's going to battery power? Would that cause a wakeup? UPS on a desktop computer here. I have been living with this problem a while now, and just did a fresh install of Windows 10 (wiped the hard drive) hoping it would go away. No dice. Would love to figure this out. It's survived through a motherboard upgrade, replacing all my displays, and now a full OS wipe. Assume it's some type of hardware/device issue. Win 10 Pro 21H1 19043.985

    Windows sleep mode--computer won't stay asleep

    I usually manual enter sleep mode on my computer. Since upgrading to Windows 10, I can put the computer to sleep but several minutes later the computer "wakes up" again. I have no problems initially going into sleep mode. Computer fan stops, HD stops etc.
    It just doesn't want to stay asleep. Any suggestions?

    Desktop won't sleep automatically and won't stay asleep

    I'm running Windows 10 on an iMac (late 2013) via Boot Camp, and ever since upgrading from Windows 7, my computer has had trouble with sleeping. My display will turn off like it's supposed to, but the light on my mouse stays on, indicating that the computer
    isn't asleep, even after hours of not using it, despite setting it to go to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity.

    Furthermore, when clicking the "sleep" option on the computer and going to bed, I wake up in the morning to find my mouse light on, indicating that my computer is awake, but with no means of knowing when or why it woke. That said, when I set the computer
    to sleep again and leave for work, I come back home 8 hours later and the computer is still asleep, so it must be an automated process waking it up early in the morning. However, I've disabled wake timers, disabled the ability for my mouse, keyboard and network
    adapter to wake my computer from sleep (the power button is the only means I've left to wake it), and powercfg -lastwake and powercfg -requests don't give me any indication of the problem. Any help you could provide would be appreciated!

    Laptop Wont Stay Asleep...

    I know I posted about this a while back, a long while. Anyway, my laptop won't stay asleep. Have tried putting it in sleep mode and hibernate. Neither one works. I can't say as to when it wakes back up but it's never within just a couple of minutes. If I go to bed and put it to sleep, odds are when I wake up it will be up as well.

    Checked the network adapter settings and from what I can see, I have it checked to not wake the computer. Other ideas guys? This is getting pretty damn annoying. That, and I don't like the thought of my laptop just running hours on end for no reason.
