Windows 10 activates on its own after entering low-power state
Hey everyone, could someone assist me with this? I'm having trouble when I power off my PC and it restarts on its own, especially during the night. Even after reinstalling Windows 10 Pro, it keeps happening. Thanks ahead!
I would eliminate these points:
1. A connected device is sending an input signal, something I've noticed with sticky keyboards before.
2. The wake time is configured in your advanced sleep settings (see the link provided).
3. Scheduled jobs are enabled—this isn't typical unless you manually set them up.
Next time this occurs, run powercfg/lastwake using a command prompt (administrator access may be required). It will reveal what triggered the wake-up. If it happens during the night, the Windows update scheduler might be involved. The issue I faced last week was it woke itself at 1am to check for updates. This could be due to the Windows update orchestrator scheduler. You can disable it via Task Scheduler—look for the service (Microsoft > Windows > Update Orchestrator) or adjust Power Plan settings: Advanced power plan options, Sleep, and set Allow Wake Timers to Disabled. Sometimes even minor movements like a mouse click can trigger it.
I enjoy adjusting the power options and turning off any Ethernet wake-up features when needed.
