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.

 

Windows 10 wakes from sleep after 2 hours

Whenever I sleep the computer, it wakes after a couple hours, though not at any regular interval and usually at an unusual timestamp such as 12:32.51 (i.e., not at 12:30.00). It is Windows 10 Pro,
Version 1903, build 18362.388, but all recent builds have had the same problem.

• there are no wake timers (per `powercfg -waketimers`)
• wake timers are disabled anyway
• only the keyboard is allowed to wake the computer (network devices and mice are prohibited)
• I have tried every solution proposed in
  this thread

The system log reports "unknown" reason for the wakeup every time. Please help, it's really becoming a problem!
