Sleeping for 10 Seconds Then Waking Up... Arrrghhh!

[ChrisPanzer]

Welp, looks like my sleeping woes I love to hate are back, this time with a vengeance. I tried to post a video demonstrating what happens, however the mods swiftly removed it, citing violation of board rules. (..to post a video?!)

Anyway, my SP3 now will resume from sleeping after about 10 seconds. Nothing plugged in, no BT devices connected, etc. Power profile is for everytthing to 'sleep' when pressed/lid closed/etc.

I know the old trick in device manager was to set various devices 'power management' to not wake device, but I understand in 8.1 that tab has been since removed.(?)

Any ideas? Doug, roachie, greyfox?

EDIT: Here is a link to the video.

Just an fyi. It was not a violation to post a video but it was a violation to post a link to a file download. Videos are posted all over this forum that don't break the rules. You may want to look into getting a YouTube account and converting that file from MOV to MP4 and post the link that way. The video would not be a file download.

I also included a link to my tinypic.com page that I uploaded the file to. All u had to do was erase the dropbox link within the original post. Its Ok, I know now. Thanks.

Do you get anything out of Powercfg /lastwake

It says "wake history count - 0" Whats that mean??

It may be worth trying turning off Bluetooth and WiFi, not as solutions but to try to isolate what's causing it.

Sounds like 0 sleep.

How about /sleepstudy


What was the last thing you installed before this started?

When I've seen this before it typically from a Win32 program refusing to enter S3 or Antivirus Activity or a Misbehaving Driver (Logitech SmartSuite, Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse Suite and the like).

Look in the Application and System Event Logs to see what process sent the Wake Command.

I think it may be this issue... The only thing I've installed over the last few weeks is a few Stardock applications. I also installed CoreTemp, which is a CPU/Load/Memory monitor. Maybe thats it?

What about Chrome extensions?

Typically when I troubleshoot, I remove one program or driver at a time and test to see if the problem is resolved starting with the last application/driver installed and then work backwards. Sometimes it isn't just one application/driver but the interaction between multiple changes and worse, it occasionally the order of the installation.

I tried /sleepstudy, it made some HTML file in windows\system32, and it says page not available when opened with IE. Tried /lastwake, got the 0 string again.

Anything else I can do to diagnose this besides hunting for the culprit? Any more command lines I can try? I really want to figure out whats causing this.

Too bad there isnt some global-override command that can be used to disable all win32/BT/Wifi/Drivers from waking the machine. (one would think such would be possible)

IDK. Maybe you can suggest Microsoft add a /NoWakeyWakey command to powercfg.
