PC always wakes up from sleep

[Hugs12343]

Hi,

 

I am so fustrated with Windows. I put my computer to sleep overnight when I have stuff open. Then randomly through the night, I hear and see my computer wake up by itself and go to the lock screen.

I've tried:

 

• Setting mouse so that it cannot wake up computer - Using this article. Then verifying that nothing but keyboard can wake computer with 

  powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

  in cmd (only works in administrator cmd)

• I've even tried physically unplugging all io except for monitors, power. Including ethernet

 

Nothing works

 

In Event Viewer it simply says 

"The system has returned from a low power state."
"Wake Source: Device -PCI Express Root Port."

 

I don't know if -PCI Express Root Port is Graphics card or SSD because they are both on pci express. But strangely in UEFI, I have set the system to not wake up to pci express devices.

In the command prompt use: powercfg /lastwake to find out the ID of the PCIE device, since it can be almost anything  The USB is controlled by the PCIE lanes, your network, onboard audio, the list goes on.

With that ID you can locate what is waking your PC up. Just use sort by connection in the device manager to view them.

It says this

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg -lastwake
Wake History Count - 1
Wake History [0]
  Wake Source Count - 1
  Wake Source [0]
    Type: Device
    Instance Path: PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_1453&SUBSYS_14531022&REV_00\3&11583659&0&0B

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

I'm looking through device manager now

The simplest solution is to just hibernate the PC when you set it overnight. It won't draw any power and won't wake up.

[tikker]

Check if there's a setting in the BIOS labeled "Allow wake by PCIe" (something I had to turn on to allow wake-on-LAN). If it's there, try turning it off.

It happens to me as well from time to time, generally a reboot or an update solves it for a while. Also make sure timer wake ups are disabled.

Yeah I know but I don't have the hard drive space for that

Whoops sorry, missed that. Maybe in device manager check the power management settings for the network adapter and see if it's set to be allowed to wake the PC. Although I would assume the BIOS would override this, but who knows.

Yep. Did that because in the cmd command:

powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

it only has the keyboard listed

[Hugs12343]

I've also tried in cmd

powercfg -waketimers

there are none

[Hugs12343]

I'm going to bed. Will reply in morning if computer wakes up.

in the power options you can prevent windows from waking for timed events. You can also create a new power profile going trough all the options and enabling it when you let it "sleep"

I registered as i have the exact same issue, my lastwake information is exactly the same, did you ever find a solution, my lastwake event, its driving me crackers this annoying issue >

Wake Source: Device -PCI Express Root Port

I did solve this problem for anyone still reading this thread.

 

I believe that it was a program on my computer that was waking it up.

 

After I uninstalled it, there was no more problem.

 

If you are having the same problem, look through your task manager to find any unsuspecting processes and uninstall/kill them.

I just started having this issue a few days ago. I've made no hardware changes in the last week and I don't believe I've even made any changes to any settings. The PCI Express Root Port that is waking the PC is the same as listed above: PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_14531022%REV_00\3%11583659%0%0B

I'll put the computer to sleep and 5 seconds to about 2 minutes later it just wakes up without any input. 

The system specs are: Ryzen 5 2600x, Gigabyte X470 Gaming 7 WiFi, Bios f31, RX590 16gb corsiar venegnce 3000 CL15.

Device manager is showing that all but one of my (6) PCI Express Root Ports were installed on 8/21/19 ( all at the same time, just as i would have been putting my computer to sleep because i would have been leaving at that time)  and I first had this issue on 8/27/19. My computer has been acting weird since I had the Bios randomly corrupt on me about 3 weeks ago, and slightly before that when trying to connect to a dead HDD.

What program specifically was causing this issue for you?

Try disabling wake on lan in the bios. This worked for me.

I know this is an old thread but i just want to give my 2 cents in case someone else is still looking for help on this.

I was having the same problem as OP. powercfg told me that it was my lan card waking up the system.

I disabled WOL on the bios, it did nothing. Then i disabled WOL on the card config page in device manager, it also did nothing. A simple WOL app in my android phone could wake up the system . I had to disable "Wake on pattern match" in order for it to stop waking up the computer. Then i re-enabled WOL in device manager just to see if "Wake on pattern match" and the bios setting was enough, but it woke up again. Both pattern match and WOL must be disabled in my system (ryzen 3xxx, gigabyte B450 mobo with intel nic).
