Windows 10: W10 PC waking from sleep every time immediately.

Hello,

I'm not an expert and any help would be greatly appreciated.
W10 PC, keeps waking from Sleep.

A few months ago, this would happen occasionally.
I could not find anything for this.
I did in power options set the "allow wake timers" to disable.
That fixed the problem, been fine since until the other day.

The machine now wakes from sleep immediately every time.
The allow wake timers is still set to disable.
I have tried to see if anything is in the middle of updates doesn't seem to be.
Left the machine on at times for a long time, shut down fully a few times.
I have tried unplugging everything including all USB and ethernet cable and switching to sleep with power button, it still wakes.
I have looked in the event viewer for the logs/system, it may state "the system has returned from a low power state" but for why it states - Unknown.
It mentions something about Power-troubleshooter in one line.

PC insomnia, or are the machines finally taking over ?

Mike.

Check anyway. I had my wifi card in when it did it at times, switched to wired still did it. Shut off WoL and it all stopped.

 

Windows 10 - Wakes immediately from sleep.

Hello t4ord,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Sleep mode saves the state of all open applications to memory, then powers down both the display panel and hard disk drive. However, if it often wakes up from Sleep mode, you need to change the Sleep settings under Power &
sleep. You can also refer this link regarding shutdown, sleep,
or hibernate your PC.

If that doesn’t help, kindly check with the steps listed below and see if it works.

Method 1: Restore default settings of power plan.

Let’s restore the power settings to its default and check if it makes any difference. To do that,

• Go to Control Panel and select Power Options.
  
• Click on Change advanced power settings.
• Select the option Restore default settings for this plan.
  

Method 2: I suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the following article and see if it helps.

• Windows
  10: Troubleshooting sleep/hibernation issues on your Dell PC.
  
• Windows 7 does not go to sleep
  (Holds good for Windows 10 as well)
  

Let us know the results. Will be glad to assist you further, if the issue persists.

Computer wakes from sleep immediately after putting to sleep

The problem i have is when i select to put my PC into sleep mode (Start>Power icon>Sleep). The screen goes black as if its entering sleep mode, but then almost immediately 'wakes up' and my video cam starts looking for a face to scan.

I'm "assuming" this is related to Windows Hello.

Any suggestions?

If i say sleep, i want the pc to sleep!

-Thanks
