  1. PC keeps waking up by itself


    Hi guys, i have a problem with every installation of windows 10 i have. I prefer to use sleep or hibernation mode on my PC at night, but it randomly turn on in the middle of the night.

    What i already did:

    Disabled allow waketimers in power options. Used PStools to uncheck "wake pc to run this task" in Backup Scan task in update orchestrator. I disabled it too but it keeps enabling by itself. In group policy i disabled the option "enable windows update power management". I really don't know what can i do anymore, i now have to completely shutdown the PC at night.

    on powershell the command: Get-ScheduledTask | where {$_.settings.waketorun} give me this result-

    TaskPath TaskName State

    -------- -------- -----

    \Microsoft\Windows\.NET Framework\ .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319... Disabled

    \Microsoft\Windows\.NET Framework\ .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319... Disabled

    \Microsoft\Windows\InstallService\ WakeUpAndContinueUpdates Disabled

    \Microsoft\Windows\InstallService\ WakeUpAndScanForUpdates Disabled

    \Microsoft\Windows\SharedPC\ Account Cleanup Disabled

    \Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\ Reboot_AC Disabled



    -lastwake on cmd do not give any useful information and -waketimers give me this:

    O timer definido por [PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\StartMenuExperienceHost.exe expira às 23:48:05 em .

    Does anyone have any clue about what is going on?

    My Wins 10 PC keeps waking itself up

    I installed a Windows 10 onto my PC at the beginning of the year, but I didn't realize it was waking itself up until a little further into the months. I keep trying to search for ways to make it stop waking up, and I uninstalled one of the things on the
    list that makes it wake up. But I woke up today to see it turned itself on. This is getting annoying as, I don't need my computer to just turn itself on, waste my home's energy and do nothing. I ran powercfg -waketimers in the cmg but it says: "There are no
    active wake timers in the system." And nothing shows for the reason why the computer keeps waking itself up.

    I have the event log, not really sure how to upload it:


    PC keeps waking up by itself 82199908-9d2f-443a-85f7-781808aea74c?upload=true.png


    I have saved the system log into a file. Wondering if there are other things I can do to check what is waking up my PC?

    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.
