Computer Randomly Turns on From Sleep

[Delta6326]

I'll keep that in mind blobster21, for now I disable booting from keyboard and mouse to see if this fixes my problem... My computer sites on my desk and is very easy to just press the power button to turn on from sleep mode.

Well that didn't last long maybe 2hours in sleep mode. It finally kept track of powercfg -lastwake

I don't know how I missed this one, but it looks like it's been trying to do this install for a long time... and it never works. I'm now checking the support page.

Windows 8 desktop wakes up unexpectedly from sleep or hibernation :

Symptoms
A Windows 8 Desktop computer is automatically waking from sleep or hibernation at a certain time even if there is no "ACPI Wake Alarm" system device found by the operating system.

long story short : Obviously it's been tasked in TaskScheduler from the beginning

"powercfg /waketimers" will show those multiples scheldulded tasks.

Ok update: Worked great for about 40ish hours but this morning at around 4am my computer turned on again... Woke me up, so I just held the power button and turned it off. I really thought I fixed it this time.

next time, use the command i showed you and find out what woke it up. theres a bunch of scheduled things in windows 8, and you have to find them one at a time.


edit: sigh, didnt check the most recent posts, did i :/


that auscheduled install is the one thats getting me as well, and its basically tied into windows updates. wouldnt be an issue if it went back to sleep after it was done, but nooooo.

just right click on it, hit disable, and hope that it doesnt break anything important.


edit: you can double click it, go to conditions and turn off 'wake this computer'

I set it to not wake computer, so time to test it again... I also ran a fix it .exe from Microsoft website (link in my previous post) it claimed to fix windows update error.
