How can I prevent my computer from waking up accidentally?
- by Ivo Flipse
When I put my computer into sleep mode, it will wake up while I'm away from it. There's nothing near the computer that could move the mouse or accidentally press a button and I have no idea what might be causing it.
I tried checking what woke it, apparently LASTWAKE only tells me that it has been in sleep mode, not what woke it up.
I also couldn't find anything in my Power Options regarding Sleep that seems off. Poking around in the Event Viewer I notice the following:
The Power-Troubleshooter event at the top notes the following:
The system has returned from a low power state.
Sleep Time: ?2012?-?10?-?27T11:31:53.408927000Z
Wake Time: ?2012?-?10?-?27T12:25:51.887029300Z
Wake Source: Unknown
So does anyone have an idea to find out what might be causing it and how I can prevent my computer from randomly waking up?
