Monitor turns on from sleep on its own Windows 7 Pro 64
SOLVED: problem was that I plugged my mouse into a PCIe USB 3.0 card. Once I removed it from there, monitor stopped turning on.
Hello everyone. I have an issue and I can't find a solution on my own. The problem is that my monitor (Acer a221hql ) turns on from sleep on its own. When I'm away from keyboard I like to set the monitor to sleep after 1 minute. I does this just fine, but then it doesn't stay in sleep mode instead it turns every 10 minutes or so. It's driving me crazy. I suspect that this has been happening for a few months now, only now I caught the monitor turned on when I came in. I noticed this happening a few days ago when I came into my room and the monitor was turned on. What I tried so far to fix this issue:
Disable "Allow this device to turn on the computer" for mouse, keyboard, network card
Disable wake timers for the entire system, in my currently active power profile
Shutting down logitech keyboard software cause I read that it can cause problems
Completely unplugging the mouse (generic chinese mouse) and keyboard (logitech k208 i think)
I don't know what else to do, is there some log file, event viewer where I can see what process turns on the monitor? It's driving me crazy, please help.
