Windows 10 waking from sleep...

[TheKDub]

After upgrading to windows 10 on the 29th, I later found out that windows keeps waking up every half hour or so for an unknown reason, I've got wake timers disabled in the power config, I've got my ethernet adapter set so it can't wake my pc, nothing touched my keyboard or mouse, and I just want the piece of shit to go to sleep and stay asleep all night

 

Looking in the task scheduler I couldn't see anything, though might have missed it if it was in there..

 

The devices that came up when I ran "powercfg -devicequery wake_armed" in command prompt were:

HID Keyboard Device

HID Keyboard Device (001)

HID Keyboard Device (006)

HID-compliant mouse (004)

 

IDK why three of the keyboard thing come up, I've got a corsair k70 rgb which has two usb connectors (no passthrough, both just used for powering the damn thing and data transfer) which could be the reason for two of them, but idk for the third.

 

From what I've seen it only wakes up when I click my mouse, not when I type on my keyboard.

Give me a min and I'll update once I've found and run the command to see what devices coulda woken it up.

Happens to me too. I just wen't with it

im having sort of the same thing but i cant get my pc to make up half the time from sleep

Well, I think I found the culpret.

 

Ran "powercfg -waketimers" as admin in command prompt, and this came up:

"Timer set by [sERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume6\Program Files(x86)\TeamViewer\TeamViewer_Service.exe (TeamViewer) expires at 5:02:46 AM on 7/31/2015.
Reason: generic"

 

Gonna fucking kill teamviewer now...

Oddly enough this shit never happened to me on windows 7 or windows 8

[TheKDub]

Well, looks like someone has been trying to take over my pc with teamviewer, so that's getting it's security completely revamped.

 

They actually managed to gain access to it while I was sitting here and very very quickly they disabled my display, luckily for me I was able to quickly disconnect my ethernet cable which then re-enabled my displays and disconnected the attacker. (I'd guess they used something within teamviewer to disable them)

I am using Windows 7 and am having this same issue starting yesterday.  TeamViewer did auto-update on Jul 29th and am wondering if that may have something to do with it.  In addition to not staying in sleep more than 30 minutes, my PC has also been randomly shutting down.  Any ideas?  I am required to use TeamViewer for my job so I can't uninstall it.

Shutting off teamviewer + ending the remaining task in task manager seems to have fixed it for me.

My computer also wakes up from sleep randomly. I don't have the "teamviewer" but my computer still randomly wakes up. I have disabled network controllers from waking the computer but it still did it right now -.-

Are you sure? I didn't even have teamviewer open and still had it keep waking up. I had to disable the service for it to stay sleeping.

But yeah I recently updated teamviewer as well. How do we get an older version?

This seems to be the trend; remember when teamviewer caused windows to hang on logging in?

Same problem here with more invastigation:

The wakeup timer is set 30 minute after the start of Teamviewer, and renew itself after timeout.

Only Teamviewer 10 create this problem Teamviewer 7 doesn't.

When the service and the progam Teamviewer are not running not Waketimers are set. If one these is running the timer comes back.

I've gt 2 Windows 10 @ home. Only one is affected , the other has Teamviewer10 too but no waketimer set at all even if i have the same settings on both.

I tried to uninstall and clean the registry + delete all remaining files of teamviewer and install a fresh version 10 Teamviewer: Problem still here.

Tried with a Version 7 and no more wake up.

Even if Windows 10 Is set to disable Waketimers in advance power options.

I reported an issues to TeamViewer let's hope they can fix this.

If any of you have a tip to manage Waketimers i'm interested.

I downloaded version 10.0.43879 (from FilePuma; google it) and it seems to have resolved the issue for me. Only happening in the latest version 10.0.45471.

This my friends is why I don't download Teamviewer. Not for anything at all.

I use it for controlling my PC from school and such in case I need to get a file or something from it or do something, and also for helping friends diagnose and correct issues with their PCs.

I got an idea once to put teamviewer on a laptop to have technically two monitors. Didn't do it though.

Yeah, with that it doesn't really work, latency is too bad for it to be all that useful, and you'd have to find a way of making a sort of fake monitor for teamviewer to look at from the laptop. (otherwise it would basically just be mirroring the current screen)

Just came back to say that with this version, I have had no issues with the timers.

Guys... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! Thanks a bunch for this info! But I deactivated sleep timers in the power options, and Teamviewer can bypass this? wtf? Is there any way to override this?

Remove teamviewer or downgrade to 8.1 or 7 Kappa

[Viper3773]

Remove teamviewer or downgrade to 8.1 or 7 Kappa

 

Or just downgrade to an older version. (10.0.43879).

 

Someone from this thread said the support had acknowledged the issue and a fix will be made in the next update.  http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2744717/teamviewer-computer-randomly-wake-sleep.html.   Also, not related to Windows 10. People on Windows 7 have same issue.

Yo dawg, I had the same waking from sleep randomly problem in the now official windows 10 release. I ran "powercfg -waketimers" and disabled windows media center update from waking my computer! Seemed to fix the problem

Guys update to The latest version of teamviewer. Just got this problem myself and noticed an update in teamviewer

 

Changes in version 10.0.45862

• Fixed a bug that caused TeamViewer to periodically wake up Windows from standby
• Fixed a problem where sometimes wrong scaling settings were used during a remote session
• Minor improvements and fixes

I just went ahead and removed teamviewer, I hardly use it and it's a bit of a security concern for me seeing how I have already been hacked through it once...

[jagdtigger]

I have this problem too, but the interesting part is that i dont have tiemviewer installed. Wake up events are all disabled(timers, USB devices, WOL, etc...) but windows still wakes up from sleep randomly without a reason in the event log... :angry:

 

Any ideas what causing this?

[AMD Lover]

Still a relevant post. Mine ended up being Spotify, trying tonight closing it down before I put it into sleep. We'll see what happens

When it wakes up, do powercfg -lastwake in the command prompt. It will tell you the device or software that woke up the system. If it doesn't tell you, then it is a driver that has a bug. Make sure that all your drivers, including network, SATA controller, etc, has the latest drivers, especially if you are on Windows 10.
