    My PC doesnt want to sleep. Why?


    I have a W7 64 bit PC that is ALWAYS on.
    I have adjusted the power scheme to no avail, nothing seems to make a difference.

    I have unchecked allowing the mouse to wake the PC because I know that any vibration can keep it awake.
    I have not unchecked allowing the keyboard wake the PC cause I dont know how else to awaken it without a hard restart.

    I know this sounds silly but this thing is on around the clock. What program(s) could be causing this?
    I have an always on VPN but close my browser and everything else when I'm done but still when I come back its always on. Can Advanced System Care, Malwarebytes or ESET keep it on?

    This PC is 4 years old and I would like it to power down when its not in use to lengthen the life of it but cant seem to manage it.
