Computer wakes up from his sleep at night

Hello

I have a problem of disruptive reeally with my Windows 7 PC: he wakes up from his sleep to ~ 2 hours every night, I put it to sleep and it wakes up again between 3-04:00. Is it possible to limit this, or to diagnose what executable triggers this?

Thank you
Levi

Windows performs many tasks during the night, including the work of backup, hard drives and other degragmenting.  These are usually the root cause of the alarms.

You can begin troubleshooting by opening an elevated command prompt * and type powercfg /lastwake to see what woke up the last computer.

* To open a command prompt, type cmd in the Start Menu, and then press Ctrl-Shift-Enter.

  • Whenever I get an email my computer wakes up from his sleep.

    My old modem out crapped so my cable provider gave me a new one that is a newer model.  The old man had a switch that smokers me to disable the internet connection when not in service.  Be able to turn off the modem was useful because it would not transmit emails to my PC when I put it in mode 'sleep'.  If I did not turn this switch provided email in when the machine is in "standby" wake up the machine.  Since the new modem doesn't have this option, it is constantly waking mode ensures by incoming emails.  Is it possible that I can implement something in Windows Vista or IESO that Windows will not wake when the modem tries to send me an email?  My PC is a desk top Dell Inspiron 350 running Vista Service pack 2 and Windows Mail version 6, and I use IE 8.  The modem is a surfboard SBV5222 Moterola.  Thank you.

  • Vista wakes up from his sleep by himself

    As the title says, my vista pc wakes up from his sleep by himself. Normally, he'll sleep for 10-15 minutes before you wake up. At other times, it is random and wake up in 2 minutes or 30 minutes. I looked in the forums of countless and tried the suggested solutions, but can not solve the problem. The only thing I found to keep him asleep is disconnected the network cable from the PC or unplug the network cable from the cable modem. I suspect some service or program he wakes up, but I have no idea of that. Here's what I tried:

    I used powercfg command-line command to see which devices have been enabled to wake up the pc. They were only the mouse & keyboard. They are all two peripheral cables usb. I unplugged each separately before you put the pc to sleep and he will still be awake. I use "last_wake" but I just get '0' and in the event viewer it says "wake source unknown.

    I made sure "allow this computer to turn off this device to save power" has been verified for the network adapter in the power management tab. I also disabled the option in the advanced NIC Properties. I also disabled it in the bios. After having done that and the pc wakes up is still what intrigues me the most when I don't know if I unplugged the NIC in the pc go to sleep for hours until I decided to wake up. It is wired not wireless.

    I have that 'sleep' lit. There are no hybrid sleep or hibernation available mode.

    It is vista business so I don't have a Media Center. Media Player is not enabled for sharing files on the network or to pick them up. Media sharing is turned off, and it's only pc's on my network. Also just in the 'media settings' box is configured to allow the pc to go to sleep in power options.

    I checked the Task Scheduler for tasks that can be set for 'wake up this computer' so it can work, but only one of them has this option. It's for multiple monitors and I unchecked the box and the pc wakes up still. I checked for hidden tasks, and the only one I found that could be the culprit was MS RSS. However, after the removal of this pc still wakes up.

    I don't have a sidebar option.

    Windows Update is set on notify me when updates are available.

    I also did a msconfig & selected 'selective startup '. I have uncontrolled startup programs. The pc is still awake.

    Tried to start the pc in safe mode, but there is no option of sleep available to test if it wakes you up from his sleep in safe mode.

    Last but not least is when the pc is wake up he's going to sleep again within 2 minutes.

    As you can see I tried everything I could think of without much success. Can someone tell me something again or that I have not tried?

    I have no idea what you're trying to do, but here's what I found my problem. I have a motherboard intel. Although I disabled "wake on lan" both vista & bios there was yet a 3rd parameter I was not aware of. He was set apart from the bios or vista. It is a framework of intel in the 'management engine interface' if I remember correctly. It is accessible after the bios option and before loading windows. Once I turned it off my pc stop, out of sleep. So, if you have a motherboard intel, then that is your problem.

  • HP Pavilion 13-a113cl: computer HP Pavilion laptop won't wake up from his sleep by the keyboard or mouse

    I don't know if it is good advice to post this question in, but I'm having the same problem with two a113cl-13 laptops HP Pavilion running Windows 10 Pro (64-bit). The issue has to do with the awakening of the machines to sleep using the key on the keyboard or the mouse. I'm not having problems with them to wake up from sleep using the button of power or when I open or close them.

    I checked the BIOS and power settings are not there. (Version of BIOS F.32)

    I have checked boxes to allow devices to wake the computer in the management section of power without success.

    I changed the Intel MEI driver with 9.5 instead of 11 which is usually installed without success.

    I don't know if there is a problem with the BIOS and Windows 10 or something driver associated. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello @jpk717,

    Thanks for the information!

    Since you have formatted the drive, you must be unable to return to the old operating system, unless you use recovery media.  You can find your product here recovery media:

    USB - Windows 8.1 Recovery Kit 64B

    You can try to use the recovery media to install the original operating system and see if the problem is resolved.  If you choose not to go down this path, you can try to re - install Windows 10, using the media creation tool.

    I hope this helps.

    Have a great weekend!

  • ThinkPad S3 Yoga 14 wake up from his sleep at random

    Seem to have supply problems since the last days of three/four - guard computer wake from sleep at random, without mouse input or anything to tell him to do. Don't stop running, awake, after that, even if the lid is closed. Massive waste of battery. I'm running W10, and I don't have problems with something like this until a week ago. Maybe some wUpdate? Anyone else having this problem, the solutions found?

    It seems that windows updates have cured this issue. Thank you all.

  • How can I stop my HP 8 window desktop computer stop asking password whenever he wakes up from his sleep?

    I have the following HP Desktop:

    HP p2-1394

    Serial number 3CR2360J2G

    #ABA product number H3Z88AA

    Windows 8 operating system

    Since I got it every time that I let him be slowed enough long to fall asleep, I have to enter my password to make it work

    Once again.

    I'm the only one who uses the computer, so I want to stop this action.

    I really don't need to enter my password at startup. This is the way my old computers have been implemented.

    I have been through Power Options and checked the proper boxes to get the password useless awaken

    but it is ignored.

    I disabled the HP program that allows me to access the computer from my iPhone.

    Maybe this will do the trick:

    Press the logo Windows + X key , then select Control Panel from the list.

    Click user accounts and family safety
    Click on user accounts
    Click on Manage another account

    Click on your user name
    Click change the password
    Enter your password in the current password field
    Not the new password field blank (this is very important)
    Click on the button
    Reboot - I hope you go straight start without having to connect.

  • Display Manager does not start after Satellite A210-117 wakes up from his sleep

    Hello

    I have some difficulty with a Satellite A210-117 PSAELE-00E00MFR. I installed W7 x 64 professional and display driver ATI Catalyst to Radeon HD 2400.

    My graphics card appears in Device Manager as an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 with the current version of the driver 8.970.100.3000 from AMD, and I can't find a better.

    So far, so good, but as soon as W7 goes into 'sleep' or 'hybrid sleep', the display manager does not re - start correctly. He keeps trying to display Windows, but finally the phone re boots.
    But if I put the laptop to 'Hibernate', then he wakes up fine.

    I don't know if this problem is known, because I can't find anything on the Internet on this subject independently to obtain the latest driver. Anyone an idea how to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Brian

    This path is not easy to say why this happen and why your laptop is blocked. From time to time to check regularly stop and don t stand-by option use for an extended period of time.

    We don t know what additional software do you use and what is running in the background.
    If you have noticed this problem a few days ago, try to roll back BONE several days back just to see if the problem persists.

  • T410 fails to wake up from his sleep with the installed 2nd hard drive?

    Since I installed a second hard drive in my T410, a 250 GB Hitachi drive, my machine can't seem to wake from sleep (sometimes)... So, I have to do a hard reset.

    I had the same problem without the 2nd disc when I tried to use the HD password in BIOS and discovered that it was something to do with the disc Crucial M4 I use. But this same problem happening now since using the 2nd disc slot.

    Any ideas? I really like the extra storage space and won't remove based on this problem.

    Well it seems that the problem was caused by the version of the firmware for the SSD I installed it.

    The problem has been solved by updating the M4 Crucial SSD with the latest firmware...

    .. .and it solved the HD1 password issue too.

    Hello

    Like many others I deleted some files that I wouldn't go for a drive clean and now when my laptop goes to sleep, he can't wake up, and the only solution is to re-boot your laptop.

    I have read many of the questions already asked and I already tried the guest "powercfg-h" method, but not luck.
    Very grateful if someone has an idea to try and fix.
    Kind regards

    Hello.

    No sound from my computer.  The Conexant device work properly.  Volume is in place on the speakers and the sounds of Windows.  Windows Media Player is not cut.  No speakers or headphones are involved.

    This problem started a couple of weeks, when I ran Microsoft difficulty It Center.  I used the difficulty It Center because I always lost sound after that my computer is awake to being asleep, which means that I always had to reboot to get the sound.  But now there is no sound whatsoever.

  • 3537/AMD HD8670 stops completely, or wakes up from his sleep

    Hi all

    As the topic says I have improved my system with Windows 10 laptop Dell inspiron 3537

    After a new installation for win 10 and install all the drivers of your website with the suggested installation order, the laptop does not completely turn off and if the laptop sleeps, he just don't wake up. The monitor turns off and you wait to press a key on the keyboard or move or click the mouse button to wake it, but nothing happens.

    If I want to stop it completely, I have to hold the power button or unplug the power supply.

    Could you please help me solve this problem?
