  1. My PC is waking up soon after being put to sleep


    My output from a powercfg /lastwake wasI have no external usbs connected to my computer, except for an antenna.There are no active wake timers.I need the router to be able to wake my computer using a magic packet, as I want to retain the ability to remote into my desktop. The software I'm using is Moonlight for streaming.

  3. 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.

    PC waking up automatically from sleep mode

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that the PC is waking from sleep mode as soon as you set it for sleep mode.



    I appreciate your efforts in trying to find out that the issue is due to the wireless mouse and keyboard you are using.



    1. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
    2. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?


    Refer the article
    Which version of Windows operating system am I running?




    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to check the power management tab for the driver and see if that helps.



    1. Press Windows key + R. This will open Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for ‘Run’.
    2. In Run dialog box, type ‘devmgmt.msc’ and hit enter.
    3. Expand the Keyboard and Mouse drivers.
    4. Double-click on the drivers and click on Power Management tab.
    5. Un-check the box next to Allow this device to wake the computer.
    6. Click on OK and close the device manager.


    Try putting the PC to sleep mode and then check if the PC is waking up automatically.



    If the issue persists, please get back to us with the details of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.



    Regards,
