Windows won't sleep

[TexTwil]

Hi,
when I click on Start/Sleep, my screen goes black but after 3 seconds it switches on again and the computer does not go to sleep.

Any ideas ?


Win 7 64bit

I'd try running the lastwake command to see if that will help identify what is waking the PC.

You may then be able to disable that device from waking the computer

It looks like it didn't even go to sleep:

C:\Users\Me>powercfg lastwake
Wake History Count - 0

See if the steps outlined in this KB article help you.

One thing I didn't see see in the KB Article that you can check:

From an Elevated command prompt enter powercfg -requests

Power Availability Requests - Manage in Windows

If anything other than "None" is returned, it could be preventing sleep.

C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -requests
DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet
An active remote client has recently sent requests to this machine.

AWAYMODE:
None.

This seems to be the same problem but it does not help in my case

I've disallowed all mice and keyboards to wake up the computer but it's still happening.

TexTwil,

I've disallowed all mice and keyboards to wake up the computer but it's still happening.

Why?

 

[DavidE]

DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet
An active remote client has recently sent requests to this machine.

AWAYMODE:
None.

I had the same "[DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet" request you see, and it was preventing sleep for me.

I fixed this with one of these commands...I think the first command is the one that worked for me.

powercfg -requestsoverride DRIVER srvnet system
powercfg -requestsoverride DRIVER \FileSystem\srvnet system

TexTwil,

Why?

Because it what is advised in on of the links posted previously: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/122027-devices-allow-prevent-wake-up-computer.html

DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet
An active remote client has recently sent requests to this machine.

AWAYMODE:
None.

I had the same "[DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet" request you see, and it was preventing sleep for me.

I fixed this with one of these commands...I think the first command is the one that worked for me.

powercfg -requestsoverride DRIVER srvnet system
powercfg -requestsoverride DRIVER \FileSystem\srvnet system

​

ok, I will try that

If David's fix doesn't turn out to be it.

Not sleeping due to : \FileSystem\srvnet

Already tried (see my previous post)

I think I give up. I will just turn off my pc.

In your system specs, you state that you are using a MacBook Pro.

Is the MacBook Pro the computer involved in all of this discussion?

No, this is my desktop PC

 

[karlsnooks]

Good.
Here is a procedure you can use to fill out those System Specs:

Update your SevenForums System Specs
User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
Your Profile | Edit System Spec (left-hand column)

To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info

ADD the word laptop or desktop or netbook to the
“system manufacturer” block, for example,
Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

Provide full windows version info, for example:
MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.

Some programs can prevent sleeping no matter what the Windows settings are.
You can try a Clean Start Up to see if there is a conflict causing your issue.
