Windows 10 Won't Stay Asleep

[JonnyLo]

Hi everyone,
I am just looking for a little insight from anyone on how to keep my PC asleep. I have been all through the forums available and have tried every remedy including, checking "lastwake" which yielded an answer from windows that it was undetermined what last woke it. I have been through my device manager and have set everything to "Do not allow to wake", I have tried unplugging the usb adapters for my wireless mouse and my Wi-Fi and unplugging my keyboard. I have also gone through the task and action list to see what device may have woke it, undetermined. The crazy thing is occasionally it will stay asleep and I will not have any issues for a couple weeks then it will go back to waking up after about 2 minutes and will maintain this behavior for any random amount of time from a couple days to a few weeks. I have not changed any hardware since micky mousing this PC together from an old Compaq to play last Gen games. I have tried everything I have found to try, does anyone have any other ideas? TIA!

How long are you keeping the PC asleep? Have you checked out the event viewer for any system logs indicating activity close to the time it has awakened?

I have looked at the event viewer, It shows that sleep was only 1 minute and 26 seconds and that the system returned from a low power state and the wake source is unknown.

I have this issue sometimes as well. It usually occurs when i have had the pc asleep for long periods of time and the PC hasn't been restarted for a long time. Whenever it happens, i restart my PC and it works fine again.

Do you have automatic maintenance enabled?

This can wake your computer to do short maintenance like cleanup/optimization. Windows update can do the same but you have probably looked into that.

Keep me updated.

I don't know, i have not checked in to that.. where do i go to look? Speaking of which, I do run Norton it does do a lot of maintenance for me but as far as I know it will not wake my PC when I put it to sleep.

I appreciate the idea but I have been down that road. I have restarted it just to try to put it to sleep and it wakes right back up. Like I said it will go through phases where it will sleep no problem and then there will be periods where it won't stay asleep no matter what I try.

If your system is sleeping on AC power, which it is, and if your automatic maintenance is not disabled, the system will resume then the whatever maintenance activity scheduled will be carried out. Since maintenance can be carried out without you manually carrying it out, it is not preferred to disable it. However, if you wish to disable it, you can by opening up Task Scheduler in the Administrative tools.

Sorta like event viewer, but navigate yourself to Task Scheduler > Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > TaskScheduler
Right-click on Idle Maintenance, Maintenance Configurator and Regular Maintenance to disable the maintenance schedule.
You might be able to see as well some but not all the scheduled maintenance activity history or any schedule information.

I dont recommend it, but I hope this solves your problem good fellow.

Another thing that may be waking your computer up is if you have another computer on your home network and you have file sharing selected for any files on your computer. If another computer on the home network is turned on, yours will wake from sleep or hibernation state. At least this has happened to me using Windows 8.1 Pro.
