PC wake up automatically.

[sdw123]

I'm using Win 10 latest build. When I put my PC to sleep, it automatically wakes up after 5-10 seconds. Please help me to fix this.

Open the command prompt, and execute:

powercfg /lastwake

It will tell you the device that is waking up the computer.

 

In most cases it is:

• Wake on Magic Packet is enabled (Ethernet card feature)
• Wake on Pattern Match  (Ethernet Card feature)
• Mouse (mouse moves and wake up the system, an issue commonly found on wired mouses, where the cable pushes on the mouse and make it slide)

It could be something else, but in most cases it is the above.
