Windows 10: PC Sleep Issues

This is why I didn't know what he meant and completely ignore what he said, till I revisited later and I read more "carefully" I guess you could say. Only to find out he meant paste lol..

 

Press Enter to run it (you won't see anything).

Launch Windows Command Prompt as admin and run this command (copy, paste, and press Enter):
Code: for /F "tokens=*" %A in ('powercfg -devicequery wake_armed') do powercfg -devicedisablewake "%A"[/quote] This command disallows any devices to wake the computer. Now you can verify that the above actions worked.

While in command prompt, enter the following command to see if any devices are allowed to wake the computer:
Code: powercfg /devicequery wake_from_any[/quote] also this command:

Code: powercfg /devicequery wake_armed[/quote] also:

Code: powercfg /waketimers[/quote] Finally, in the future, to find out which device/task woke the computer the last time, type this command in Windows Command Prompt (run as admin):
Code: powercfg –lastwake[/quote] Note that sometimes, this action will tell you nothing about who woke the computer (probably some deep system process). In this case, the Windows Event Viewer will also show you a wake event but will not tell you who did it. The above plan can prevent such anonymous waking.[/quote] I did pretty much everything you said the best I could though there were a couple issues. First in my bios I couldn't find what you specified on the first step. In the advanced tab I found something called APM which I assumed stood for Advanced Power Mode though I have no idea. When I disabled it there was nothing regarding Wake on LAN or Deep Sleep. This is the motherboard if it helps Motherboards | M5A99X EVO R2.0 | ASUS USA

Second when I went into Change Maintinence Settings the box was already unchecked.
And lastly which I'm not sure is an issue I get this in CMD when i run powercfg /devicequery wake_from_any

powercfg /devicequery wake_armed
Has only my usb keyboard listed because I reapplied it after removing everything.

powercfg /waketimers
Has nothing listed.

 

Had one too many issues with Windows 10, I've reverted back to Windows 7. Thank you all for the help hopefully my experience will differ in the future.

 

mikebzh44,
I don't know why the powershell script doesn't work in your Windows. It worked fine for me (Windows 10, Russian, 64-bit) and disabled all tasks in Task Scheduler that wake up the computer. Your error message says something about wrong arguments or typos in the command. Perhaps if you try to type the command under English (US) keyboard settings and double-check the spelling, it will work?

Another thing, the second script should be used in Windows Command Prompt (as admin), not in PowerShell.

Here are the original links to the resources I am talking about (one page in Russian but can be translated and has pictures in English):

Windows 8 Wakes Up From Sleep or Hibernation Unexpectedly | Ilantzs Weblog

My computer used to wake up every night both under Windows 8.1 and under Win10. I followed the instructions that I posted above, and now my computer sleeps like a log. Never wakes up by itself, and I can bring it to life only by pressing the power button (keyboard and mouse cannot do this).

 

XpaydayX:
I am sorry, my mistake. In reality, the command powercfg /devicequery wake_from_any shows all devices that are in general capable of waking the computer (regardless of their current wakeup status). Corrected my original post. I am sorry that you gave up on Win10, but the techniques I described work in Windows 8.1 too. In fact all of them were devised for Windows 8.1 originally.

According to your last post, you followed the instructions correctly and everything worked as it should. It seems that now your system wakes up because of some anonymous (deep system) tasks that are registered but not named by the -lastwake command and have the name "Unavailable" in Windows event viewer. I could stop these anonymous awakenings only by enabling deep sleep in BIOS. My advice is to do some more research in your advanced BIOS settings in the APM section (read carefully about each item listed there).

 

I've got a similar problem though my system turns off after it runs 'UpdateOrchestrator' each night at 3:30 am. So, I first changed the time to when I'm home and awake then I tried disabling it but it seems to recreate the task.

First, what the hell does this do? It says event viewer shows Wake Source: Unknown, but possibily due to timer - Windows will execute 'NT TASK\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot but it doesn't reboot and I have my system set to boot on power failure (not that it needs to).
I've not yet tried the to stop all wake commands because I have a tv tuner and my NPVR program wakes the computer, if asleep, to record a program then go back to sleep.
Any suggestions?

 

I had one of my computers waking up to do a virus scan.
