Computer waking up from sleep on it's own

[Rovert19]

Hello,

 

I've recently started noticing that my computer will wake up on its own after I put it to sleep. I did a "powercfg -lastwake" in the command prompt and it's telling me that it was woken up by the power button, which I obviously didn't press. I was wondering what could be causing this? I would really appreciated some thoughts.

Did you powered up/down some major power user around a house in that moment?

I wish I would have known that command when my rig was having issues. I'm gonna write that down. You helped me with your problem.

Open CMD as administrator and type "powercfg lastwake"

 

It'll tell you exactly what woke the PC.

No, I don't think so. I tried to put it to sleep 3 times last night but it just kept waking up. I ended up having to shut down in order to keep it from waking up.

The auto wake options were disabled. I ran a "powercfg -devicequery wake_armed", and it says only my mouse keyboard could wake it up. Could you elaborate on wifi sleep or settings. I don't have wifi on this computer.

Sleepwalking?

Or check the power button, there might be a shortage somewhere

I ran it and it said it was the power button which I didn't press.

I don't have any wireless peripherals.

if it is because of power button than it would probably shut down randomly too

Go to control panel > Device manager. If you right click a device and go to properties, then navigate to Power Management, check to see if it is allowed to wake the computer. It's usually the Network Adapter.
