Windows 10: Laptop wakes up and immediately goes back to sleep

I've been enjoying my laptop doing as the title of this post says. I can put it to sleep or it will go to sleep on its own. In a few minutes, the screen will flash on then it will go back to sleep again. I've gone through the Network Adapters / Keyboard / Mouse and unchecked "Allow this device to wake the computer" - In my Power Options, the settings are correct, for instance, I have the "Allow the wake Timers" disabled. Plus, on top of everything, I cannot stop the Mouse nor the Keyboard from waking the computer. Suggestions would be welcome but a fix more so.

Lappie wakes from sleep immediately!


When I use the Shutdown/Sleep command my laptop goes to sleep. Except that it wakes again immediately. powercfg lastwake told me the ACPI-Lid was responsible.

So yes, opening the lid when it is closed should wake the computer, but if the lid is open when the computer is told to sleep, it shouldn't wake until the lid has been closed and then re-opened

Dell M6800 BIOS level A16 FWIW

Any ideas on this one?

Thanks, Dave

 

Computer wakes from sleep immediately after putting to sleep

The problem i have is when i select to put my PC into sleep mode (Start>Power icon>Sleep). The screen goes black as if its entering sleep mode, but then almost immediately 'wakes up' and my video cam starts looking for a face to scan.

I'm "assuming" this is related to Windows Hello.

Any suggestions?

If i say sleep, i want the pc to sleep!

-Thanks

Computer Wakes Up From Sleep And Goes Back To Sleep?

Hmm, lazy computer! *Roll Eyes

Sorry for that stupid line, I couldn't resist. *Frown

Maybe you have something configured to sleep when idle. Check that on your power settings.
