Windows 10: Upgrade issue Computer starts up by itself

Are you going to disable magic packet/WOL to see if it solves problem?
After what time interval did computer start and was it always the same?
Please advise if you try.
Thanks

 

This was the exact reason my computer would not stay asleep after upgrading to Windows 10. This box was checked during the upgrade process from 8.1. I unchecked box to wake computer and everything has been working great. Good Luck!

 

Thanks.
Did you upgrade once noticed problem and stay with 10 until you found solution?
I reverted twice to 8.1. I wonder If I should uncheck box before third attempt and hope upgrade keeps setting.
If not then I will uncheck after install.

 

Not sure on time scale yet. The first time, I thought I put in in sleep, so turned off before bed.
Come Down stairs in the morning and it's on, so shutdown again before work, and get a message off the wife to day I left it on.
I'll disable magic packet from bios first, then from OS.
But I'd want to keep this function on really, no point having a feature there which you can't use *Sad


Thanks for the help

 

I have same issue with Windows 10. I will try all of the methods you all have posted here. If I have any luck or other solutions I will let you know.

 

JDS,

I stayed with Windows 10. I am one of those type of people that once I upgrade I give it at least a couple weeks for me to learn about it and see if I can live with the changes. So far I am liking it, but there are still some problems I am trying to work around.

 

I just installed 10 for third time this morning and I was correct that PCie or Wifi adapter was issue and it is a 10 software issue.
Go to control panel and device manager. Click on network adapters and on both PCIe and wifi uncheck allow device to wake computer.
On wifi I went further and on advanced settings disabled wake on Magic packet.
Computer is not starting up by itself anymore.
Windows 10 seems very stable and everything works well. Starts and shutsdown as fast as 8.1.
Upgrade seems worthwhile. I did like 8.1 but will get use to 10 as long as no other issues crop up.

 

A lot of topics on this subject so it is a real problem. But don't be so fast to propose just turning off wake on lan. Some of us are actually using it. And using it with older versions of Windows.
If that is indeed the problem I will try to disable mine for test these days after i exhaust oll other options, but if it turns out that it wakes without actually getting magic packet then it is a bug and I hope with more reports Microsoft should fix it.

 

CyberTod,

Some others also said they use it but in my case I wasn't and it fixed problem. I agree it is a software issue and Microsoft should issue fix so those who do will be happy. I did call Microsoft support first time I installed and tech was clueless. Hope my case report got them looking into problem.
From my understanding how computer wakes from 7 and 8 changed and apparently it's different with 10.
I had no problems with wake settings on 8.

 

This solution worked for me - thanks for posting!
