After I updated to Fall Creators Update (version 1709), my computer wakes up at around 4am every day from hibernate. I did the following:
- Checked that maintenance disabled (and anyway time for maintenance is 11am).
- Checked that Allow wake times is disabled.
- Checked that allow hybrid sleep is disabled.
- Checked tasks that can wake up the PC and there are none. (I ran a PowerShell script that checks that there are no tasks that are allowed to wake up the computer, and then I did it manually as well.)
- Checked that there is no device that is allowed to wake up the computer.
Also I ran these commands:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg -lastwake
Wake History Count - 1
Wake History [0]
Wake Source Count - 0
C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg -waketimers
There are no active wake timers in the system.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
NONE
- I did reset power profile and disabled everything related to wake up.
- I disabled all devices "Allow this device to wake up computer".
- I disabled Wake on LAN.
When I do hibernate I can see this in the system's event log:
10/22/2017 10:02:52 PM (time when I did hibernate)
The system is entering sleep.
Sleep Reason: Application API
10/22/2017 10:02:55 PM
The system has resumed from sleep.
but I after I did hibernate, I stayed with the computer for 5 minutes and it was off. No lights, it looks completely powered off.
And next event somewhere around 4:16am:
The system time has changed to xxxxx from yyyyy.
Change Reason: System time synchronized with the hardware clock.
Approximately 10 events later there is single Power-Troubleshooter event:
The system has returned from a low power state.
Sleep Time: aaaaZ
Wake Time: bbbbZ
Wake Source: Unknown
And I didn't do anything on the computer except upgrade Windows 10 to version 1709 (manually via Upgrade Assistant). I was running Windows 10 for about a year or so and I always used hibernate and I never had a problem with waking up (after I disabled maintenance).
Oct 28 Update Updated BIOS to latest version, made sure there is nothing in BIOS that wakes up computer. Still exactly the same issue.
But now it looks like computers wakes up not in 4am but in 6 hours and 30 minutes after I put it in hibernate. I just going to bed around 9:30pm and wake time was around 4am. Yesterday I went to bed earlier and last event in event log was at 10/27/2017 9:13:32 PM and today first event 10/28/2017 3:42:19 AM. Also I remember that one day I went to bed around 10pm and wake up time was around 4:30am Checked thru all events. Only found these new events that are relative to sleep:
PushNotifications-Platform
10/28/2017 3:42:20 AM
WNP Transport Layer received Power Management event with type Resume Low-Power on the Data Connection.
Wcmsvc

A Power change was processed.
Reason: Operation is resuming automatically from a low-power state
Wcmsvc

A Power change was processed.
Reason: A resume was triggered by user input
There is nothing interesting on hibernate side.
31 Oct Update Shutting down computer will keep it that way and do not wake it up.
4 Nov Update Logging off and then hibernate will keep computer in hibernate whole night. So as @Rik suggested perhaps it is application. I will try to do what he wrote: Logoff, Logon and kill all apps in startup.
7 Nov Update Updated video driver still the same problem.

– Journeyman Geek – 2017-11-04T01:01:54.923@Rik so far I tried to logon kill application in startup and put it in hibernate. First attempt didn't work. I will keep stopping services and kill other tasks. Perhaps later it will work. – Vlad5Maxed – 2017-11-05T17:23:21.297
@Vlad5Maxed Yes, funny part is that here, after killing all programs, the computer did wake up after 6:28 but went to sleep again 2 minutes later. I have no task set to put my computer to sleep other than manual. If all programs are running the computer stays awake. Logging out does indeed keeps the computer asleep (as mentioned before). I was thinking about disabling all scheduled tasks but apparently that can disable login and essentially brick your OS. – Rik – 2017-11-05T17:49:42.353
@Vlad5Maxed O, wow. My computer slept through the night :) Not sure what I changed. What do you have for display-time and sleep-time. Mine was always never but I ran the power troubleshooter and that one set the sleep-time and display-time to a value other than
never
and now my computer sleeps through the night (I do have to end uTorrent manually because that one was set to prevent the computer from sleeping). – Rik – 2017-11-07T07:53:08.083@Rik I did run troubleshooter and it just put computer asleep when I'm not using it. It didn't do anything for hibernate for me. – Vlad5Maxed – 2017-11-07T17:19:25.377
Same problem here, since the Fall update both "Maintenance Activator" and "UpdateOrchestrator" ignore the "disable wake timers" setting in power settings – Andomar – 2017-11-15T13:28:13.143
@Andomar just out of curiosity how do you know that they are ignoring "disable wake timers" setting? – Vlad5Maxed – 2017-11-17T04:13:22.400
@Vlad5Maxed: Because I have disabled wake timers (in all power profiles) but
powercfg /waketimers
still shows timers, and my computer still wakes up in the middle of the night – Andomar – 2017-11-17T08:23:13.560@Andomar That doesn't mean the waketimers actually fire. It just mean there are waketimers but they may be globally disabled. Did you check in eventlog or via
powercfg /systempowerreport
if the waketimers were really the cause. That said... could you check the report ofpowercfg /systempowerreport
to see how long your sleep-time really is. Is it a consistent same time/duration? – Rik – 2017-11-17T16:22:31.627@Rik: The computer woke up at the time given by
powercfg /waketimers
for the "UpdateOrchestrator" task, so I don't doubt that it was a wake timer. Thanks for linking the report option, but it only goes 3 days back, I'll run it after the next "UpdateOrchestratror" wakeup. They seem to be related to Windows updates. – Andomar – 2017-11-18T11:36:35.947@Andomar Ok, then it's not the same problem we are having (waking up after 6 hours and 28 minutes exactly). You can go into the taskscheduler and disable Wakeup for the task UpdateOrchestratror/Reboot. (disable "allow this task to wake up computer") Then your computer shouldn't wake up anymore for it. It does seem that UpdateOrchestratror/Reboot doesn't follow the general "disable wake-timer" rules but disabling the "allow wakeup" does disable it. – Rik – 2017-11-18T12:04:26.603
@Andomar And if that doesn't work you might need to fiddle with the permissions of that task so that Windows doesn't set it back to "allow wake". See the answer here: https://superuser.com/a/973029/235723
