Windows 10: Windows 10 wakes up from sleep all by itself

Hello,
Since a few weeks ago, I have noticed that my Windows 10 64-bit machine wakes up from sleep/hibernation automatically without my intervention. I should mention that I have never had this issue before and that I have not changed the hardware.

Running "powercfg -lastwake" at the command prompt immediately after such an unwanted wake up indicates the following culprit each and every time:

Intel (R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 4 - 1E16

Can somebody help me to further narrow down the cause?

What I have tried without success:
- My system is up to date as per (1) Windows Update, (2) updates proposed on Asrock (Motherboard) website, (3) updates proposed by Intel Driver Update utility
- I unplugged and immediately replugged all my USB cables but to no avail.
- Disabling Wake up from magic packets within my ethernet adapters settings.
- Shutting down a couple of newly installed applications like Bluestacks Android App Launcher running in the background.

Thanks in advance,
Steve

PC Wakes from Sleep By Itself

What is the make and model of your computer?

What have you done so far to troubleshoot the problem?

How long has this been happening?

Sometimes your computers firmware, which deals with things like power management, which is related to sleep needs to be updated. Remember, the issue you are experiencing here is outside of Windows, where its not resuming from sleep. Windows is in a saved state
on the hard disk and can't manage the hardware resources, thats left up to Firmware (your BIOS) to handle. So, its obvious this more a hardware issue than software, but updated driver software can fix it.

It could suggest you need to update your chipset drivers and BIOS.

I recommend you update the most critical ones: BIOS, Chipset, Display Driver, Network adapters.

If that does not work, I recommend you try two things

First: Boot to the Windows 10 desktop

Press Windows key + X

Click Device Manager

Expand Batteries

Right-click Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System.

Choose Update Driver Software.

Make sure you are connected to the Internet, the check for updates.

When complete, restart then check if you can sleep and wake.

Second option

uninstall your display driver then restart

Boot to the Windows 10 desktop

Press Windows key + X

Click Device Manager

Expand Display adapters

Right click the current display adapter

Click Uninstall

Exit Device Manager

Restart

If that does not work, well, we need to try something else. Try resetting the BIOS:

Had this problem too. Try: From device manager, open the properties of your Ethernet card. On the power management tab, make sure "Allow this device to wake the computer" is unchecked.

 

That was exactly the solution! Thanks so much!!
