PC waking from sleep every single time.

[Guest]

Every single time I put my PC into sleep it wakes up usually about 5 minutes after going into it. Yes, I've disabled wake timers and pretty much everything I thought of even disabling my devices from having the ability to turn my PC on. Please help.

Usually it's some piece of software that's the issue, especially Samsung Magician. If you don't have that particular software running, simply close out of the running software one by one and see if it works at some point.

Diagnosing PC awake problems:

Command (Win key and x> Command prompt (Admin)
copy and paste:

powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

Then hit your Enter key

Also try,

powercfg /lastwake

And,

powercfg /waketimers

Solutions, depending on what is waking:

Run (Windows key+r) powercfg.cpl

then go to Change plan settings>Advanced settings>Allow wake timers
Set to disable.

Run ncpa.cpl

then hit Ethernet (Network Adapter)>Properties>Configure>Power Management>Deselect "Allow this device to wake up computer. Under Advanced tab -> Select Wake on Magic Packet>set value to disable. Use the same method to disable Wake on Pattern Match.

Run devmgmt.msc

then go to Universal Serial Bus Controllers> USB Root Hub>Properties>Power Management> Deselect "Allow this device to wake up computer."

While under Device Manager, do likewise to Keyboard and Mouse, as necessary.

On one PC under W/10 I had to nuke everything, even the keyboard and mouse and use the power button configured to Sleep (unless held down) to prevent unprovoked waking.

And to enable Sleep I had to disable Hibernation via command prompt:

My desktop shortcut key for Sleep: C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

And which i hot keyed to Ctrl+Alt+z, which in turn was remapped to ScrollLock via AutoHotKey. If i disable hibernation via the powercfg -h off command then the PC goes to sleep when i hit the hot key, but if the hibernation is on then it goes into hibernation.

Hope this helps.
