Pc will not go to sleep.

[Titanmaster970]

My pc will not go to sleep. i have it set so my 2 monitors turn off after 10 minutes, then the pc goes to sleep after 30 minutes. But the problem is it will not go to sleep. If i manually put it to sleep, it turns on after a minute and shows the lock screen. I have tried setting the multimedia settings to "let the pc sleep" in advanced power management options, i have the network card set to not wake the computer. Anything else i can do? note: i always have discord running, and i dont want to shut that down just to let the pc sleep.

GPU: GeForce GTX 970
CPU: Intel core i5 6600k

It looks like Discord has a problem with that:

You can tell what is waking your pc up by loading a command prompt (as soon as possible after pc awakens) and typing in:

powercfg -lastwake

Try putting your PC to sleep like you do when it normally only sleeps a minute or so, once it wakes up, try the powercfg to see what woke it up.

If the problem is Discord (which is likely is), then there really is no fix that I know of. Either close it out, or keep PC on.
