Solved Sleep Problem

[PSCO2007]

Hello Craig,

You might see if running the lastwake command right after it wakes up like that to see if it may be able help ID what may be waking the computer.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi Brink,
Hope I am not hijacking thread.
This problem just started.
Followed your link for "last wake."

Hello PSCO,

You might see if you may be able to use OPTION TWO in the tutorial below to see it may be able to stop that device from being able to wake the computer.

Hi Brink,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I followed your link and it still says "Gigabit Network connection".
I know that is the problem, but I have it unchecked in Device Mgr.
Thanks anyway.

Did that stop this device from waking the computer?

If not, then using OPTION TWO as well may help if the device is still listed in the last wake command and the command from step 2 in OPTION TWO.

Already tried step 2 in option 2 - have keyboard, mouse and network adapters unable to wake computer.
The " last wake" still says Gigabit adapter, but I have it unable to wake computer.
Strange.

That is strange. You might go ahead and uncheck the two "Respond...." options in your left screenshot above as well to see if that may help. It may be waking the system even though it's not suppose to.

Unchecked both, and tried sleep.
Still woke - ran " last sleep" and again showed "gigabit network adapter."
I hate to take all your time - guess I'll have to live with it.
Thanks.

Hmm, ok. Does it still show it using the command below from OPTION TWO?

powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

Here's the last pic - ran both of your commands.

 

[Brink]

Ok, thank you. Now, see if running the command below in an elevated command prompt may help afterwards. It looks like you had left out the full description as below when you tried the command earlier.

powercfg -devicedisablewake "Intel<R> 82579V Gigabit Network Connection"

powercfg -devicedisablewake "Intel<R> 82579V Gigabit Network Connection"

Ran the full code - says "invalid"

 

[Brink]

No worries. Looks like you just made a typo and had left the quotation mark off at the end of the quote.

This is the command I used -
powercfg -devicedisablewake "Intel<R> 82579V Gigabit Network Connection"

Still says "invalid"
Am I still doing it wrong?
Can I just disable the network connection since I don't have a network?

 

[Brink]

If you used copy and paste instead of typing it out, then that may be the issue. Sometimes they do not copy well.

Oh, well if you don't have a network connection using that LAN ethernet adapter, then yes disabling it would be the easiest way to prevent it from waking up the computer.

That was a bust - I disabled the Gigabit Network adapter and had no Internet.
I'll try and type out the command and let you know.

I typed it out - same "invalid" message.

Well, NOW it is going to sleep and staying there.
I have no idea what happened, since this problem only started today.
I also don't know why the commands would not work, but enough is enough.
I thank you for your patience and help.
I added to your rep and wanted to again, but they wouldn't let me.
You are GREAT!!!

It's no problem. I'm happy to hear that it's working fine again.

Disabling and enabling the network adapter may have toggled it back to working properly again.
