Windows 10 keeps waking up and going to sleep in a loop

[p3pc1styl3]

Hello,
When I click on the sleep button the computer goes to sleep and after 90 seconds or so , it wakes up on it's own. It wakes up and the monitor doesn't get a signal like how it normally would if woken up by a person. If I don't do anything for another 90 seconds it goes to sleep again over and over.

I've tried this guide : http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-fix-computer-keeps-waking.htm
Didn't help.

I think it is worth to mention that I'm using a desktop. the problem only started a month ago. I don't recall doing something that might have caused it. Windows 10 is up to date. Also, I've been getting random crashes lately.

shared media can wake your computer.
IE xbox talking to the desktop, or another computer talking to it.

if you have a wired lan, unplug the lan or disconnect from the wireless router before you sleep and see if your machine wakes up.

if it is the case, you have to go into control panel
I think it is in control panel->hardware and sound->power options->edit plan setting->
change advance power settings, scroll down to the bottom of the list and look under the multimedia settings

That is not the case, I checked.
Thanks anyway

does it still wake up if the network is disconnected?

powercfg.exe –lastwake

did it show anything woke the computer?
I would assume if it did not, then the computer never went to sleep.
programs can block the computer from sleeping.
most often it is just advanced settings for the multimedia
and you have to select the "allow the computer to sleep" when sharing media option

if you have a old minidump from c:\windows\minidump directory put it on a server, share the file for public access and post a link.
often there can be a outdated power driver installed. (at least on gigabyte boards)
I can also check the bios version to see if it could be the cause.

This is what I'm getting:

so it was ttservice.exe media player that keeps waking the system.

stop the service and see if your machine will sleep correctly

How do I do that?

 

[johnbl]

you can kill it from the task list (just for testing)
it might be listed as a service in control panel (you could stop it or set it to manual startup)
it might just be a program running in the background that runs automatically, look on your task bar and see what is running and if there is a torrent app that is trying to share files. (disable it)

When I try to end to task from the task manager it just keeps turning on, I can't find it in the control panel and there is no torrent program running in the background.

TTService.exe is torrent time

here is a method to stop the service:
http://windowsvc.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=windowsvc&wr_id=69477

basically open a cmd.exe as an admin (or powershell as an admin)
then run

sc.exe stop "TTService"
sc.exe config "ttService" start=disabled

if you want to, you can delete the service
sc.exe delete "TTService"

I would hope they put a uninstaller in control panel.
Some of these programs will also put a task in the task scheduler so it gets restarted or reinstalled.
(not sure if this one does)

Yeah I've already googled it and it worked.
I was just going to ask you if it is safe to delete it.

 

[johnbl]

if you don't need it delete it.
if it comes back you have to find out what/who is installing it.

Okay, Thank you very much!

if you don't need it delete it.
