  1. Network Card Keeps waking computer


    When I put my computer to sleep it will frequently be restarted by my network card.


    I can solve this by only allowing magic packets to wake the computer. However this creates another issue as the computer doesn't recognize the Ethernet connection when I manually wake the computer with my mouse / keyboard so I have to restart the network card through device manager - often multiple times.


    Is there a way to fix this?

    :)

    Logitech M510 Mouse Keeps Waking Up Computer

    Hi,

    It's always good to preserve your device's power by putting it on sleep mode. If your mouse is waking up the device, we suggest following the steps below as another workaround:

    • Press Windows Key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    • Once Command Prompt window opens, enter the following command: powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
    • You should be able to see the list of all devices that are allowed to wake up your computer. Enter
      powercfg -devicedisablewake “device name” into Command Prompt to stop a device from waking up your PC. Remember to
      replace “device name” with a name of the actual device. It’s also important to keep the quotation marks, so do not delete them.
    • You can also use powercfg -deviceenablewake “device name” command to enable certain device to wake up your PC, but it is optional. You can find the name of the specific device by using the Device Manager.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.

    S4 (hibernation) USB/network wake up

    Hi,

    I have this annoying problem. When my computer enters the S4 powerstate (hibernation) I can wake it up by just clicking with the mouse. Even when EuP is enabled the mouse can still wake up the computer. After a night of sleep I find the computer powered on. So not only can the mouse wake up the system, it also seems that network traffic can too.

    I thought that hibernation was like power off but with the option to save the RAM to disk. At least before I always need to push the power button to boot after hibernation.

    Any suggestions?

    Network Card Keeps waking computer

    Computer keeps waking from sleep. Tried everything.


    I have a very simple suggestion:

    The next time you put your computer to sleep,
    physically disconnect it from all networks: The Internet, your LAN, Bluetooth, everything.
    See if it still wakes up by itself.
