Computer waking from Hibernate?

[JaronOdele]

As far as I'm aware, this shouldn't be possible. I enabled Hibernation in the power settings and made the option show up in my power menu. But for some ungodly reason, it's waking up after only a few moments. My understanding is that Hibernation saves what's on RAM onto the HD, and then completely powers off as opposed to sleep where it simply enters a low-power state, so this should be impossible. Any ideas what the problem here could be? It's a brand spanking new computer built from the ground up personally, so there's no bloatware or anything. It's a gaming rig so the only things it's got on it are Speccy, my motherboard's program suite (Aorus X570 Master), my disk drive's suite (Asus BW-16D1HT), Opera GX, the Razer suite to go with my Deathadder, and various launchers like Steam and U-Play. So, not exactly any funny business going on program wise. I can provide any further information that may be needed as it's needed.

I'm hibernating it, not sleeping it. It should not be able to turn itself back on from a shut down.

Try this

 

hkey_local_machine\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\PowerdownAfterShutdown\1

I'm sorry, is this supposed to be a Command Prompt thing? Or am I just clueless? I got an error stating "The system cannot find the path specified.". I double checked to make sure I spelled everything right.

I get to Winlogon, but then it's not the same as what you shared. I've got AlternateShells, AutoLogonChecked, GPExtensions, UserDefaults, and VolatileUserMgrKey.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured out that PowerdownAfterShutdown isn't a further folder to drill down into. That said, it's currently 0, I'm changing it to 1 then?

Just now tested, and it did not work. It was all of three, maybe four, minutes before it turned back on as if it were waking from sleep mode. : (

run cmd as admin and type:

 

powercfg -lastwake

 

 

Maybe you can see what causes the awakening. I hope not Disney again....

I hibernated my computer again and let it wake back up, then ran the command. Got this returned.

Useless Info.

The fact that disable the wake timers didnt help is weird.

Any external devices, like USB stick in your Computer?

Tried to disable wake on LAN in the Bios?

I just don't see how the computer is turning back on from a completely powered down state. Wake timers should only work if I'm sleeping, but I'm hibernating, which is a complete shutdown after dumping RAM onto the hard disk.

Hibernate can be awaken too.

That makes no sense. The purpose of Hibernate is to preserve the previous session without drawing /relying on power like sleep mode does. If it's not drawing power, none of the components should be able to perform the processing necessary to wake the system, because they have no power to do so. The power button should be the only thing able to turn the system back on. : /

I tell you how it is. Not if it makes sense. 

I´ve told you what i know. Maybe someone else has a better Idea.
