    Stay in sleep and wake with spacebar


    I can't figure out how to adjust the power plan in Windows 10 to achieve this:

    - After I press the power button to put the computer in Sleep mode, I'd like the computer to stay in Sleep mode even after multiple hours and not go to hibernation or switch off.

    - I'd also like to be able to wake the computer by just pressing the spacebar

    Thanks

    :)

    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.

    Stay in sleep and wake with spacebar

    Windows 10 wont stay in sleep mode

    yes, it was already off.

    its waking up one hour after it sleeps for about 2 minutes, then sleeping again. How the eff can i track what it does in that time if nothing shows in powerCFG or the event log?
