Windows 10 wont stay in sleep mode

i updated USB 3.0 drivers and its still doing it, so i've now done the mothership test by removing the ethernet cable.
 
removing ethernet didnt fix it.


urge to stab rising.
 
does it say it only comes on for a min or two? maybe its doing deeper state changes? like from S3 to S5 screen flashes or system comes abck up then goes right back to sleep.

sometimes it comes back on and sleeps again, other times it stays awake. i'm sitting here using my laptop next to it with everything disconnected or unplugged, and it still does it.

I actually recall my other system doing this too (the i5) while on an insisder build so i'm going to power it up and test if it does the same thing, because if so that really narrows down the possibilities (its running W10, but a clean install with almost zero installed programs)

thats odd youd think this would be more wide spread then. my RTM goes to sleep no issues.
 
its waking up much less than an hour apart now, getting what feels like 10 minutes. ethernet still disconnected.
 
"kernel-power" are the wakeups.
4 min, 4 min, 3 min, 15 min. feels totally goddamned random.

does your bios have a setting for dummy PSU load? if so I would enable it.

hardwares good, as i did not have this issue with windows 7 or 8.1 on the same hardware. bums around 5W in sleep mode as it always has, no hardware changes. this is definitely a software issue, but driving me mad to find it since i dont have a whole lot of stuff installed or running.

ok
 
one difference i'm seeing: my i7 system has no hibernate options at all. its been disabled (carried over from win 8 install i guess)

could be for some reason it wants to use the hybrid sleep or hibernate, waking up and not being able to use it. will test, although if thats the case windows updates must have caused it to be a problem now when it was fine on insider until now.

edit: hibernate has been turned back on and 'hybrid sleep' appeared and defaulted to on. will see how it goes now...
 
@Mussels
you don't happen to have teamviewer installed do you ?(i had this issue and finally narrowed it down to teamviewer service)
I assume you already disabled the regular maintenance (it runs at like 2am-3am
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Security and Maintenance\Automatic Maintenance
and yea disabling the wake-timers doesn't seem to affect the Maintenance neither does nuking the task
try via gpedit
Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Maintenance Scheduler.
allow wake;disabled

Try S4 only, i believe you can select S4\S5 at the same time but select the single S4.

it started with windows 10 for me as well took me 3 days to track the problem to the teamviewer service and set it to disabled and I haven't had the issue since

I've been having a similar issue, but the wake source is listed as PCI-to-PCI Bridge. I've run all the commands to see what devices have permission to wake and the only thing is Keyboard, Mouse, and WOL. I've disabled all three and it still waked from sleep citing PCI-to-PCI Bridge. I had the same exact configuration in Windows 8.1 with no issues. I'm going to try a fresh install of W10 and see if that fixes it. Also, I have all the privacy stuff disabled (services, group policies, reg keys, etc).

Edit: Just saw you guys post about TeamViewer. I do have that installed but never had this issue in the past. I'll try disabling the service and see if that fixes it.

it probably will.
 
Hate to resurrect this thread, but disabling that did not fix my issue. I still receive PCI-to-PCI bridge wakes and have ALL my devices set to not be able to wake the PC. I did do an in-place upgrade over 8.1 and I plan on performing a clean install relatively soon. Maybe that will fix it.

mine had no logs anywhere - teamviewer is a cause of silent wakes. if yours has something reporting in the logs, its not the teamviewer issue - please post if you do find the problem however.

Yeah, I definitely will. My guess is something got lost in translation between the 8.1 and 10 upgrade.

i'm gunna say thats not likely due to what i've seen so far - the W10 upgrades are very 'clean'

drivers are more likely in your case, or some other silly program like teamviewer.
