Hi Folks,
Since I upgraded to 10 I have had constant issues. Mainly when I put the machine to sleep it wakes itself up automatically.
I have banned all deviced from allowing it to wake, removed it from any workgroups and a million other fixes I have seen online. Yet I can't get it to stay asleep.
Anyone else has this issue and fixed it? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: after viewing logs this file: NvStreamKms.sys is set to "demand start" and the next entry is the computer waking.
I have disabled Nvidia game streaming and issue still occurred.
I found there seems to be a Spotify bug which sets a wake timer. Spotify are "working on it" so if you have the same issues try these two ideas.
Could it be Windows updates? Also if it is a graphics driver, perhaps try an earlier version of the driver as a test.
I think I got it. It was Spotify and Nvidia's game streaming service!Could it be Windows updates? Also if it is a graphics driver, perhaps try an earlier version of the driver as a test.
I had the same issue, I think it might be my Anker wireless optical mouse.
I tried my old Logitech mouse instead of my new Anker wireless mouse and my pc stayed in the sleep mode.
I think the optical sensor still carries on working for a while, even though I'm not touching it, and wakes my pc up.
My Anker mouse shuts down after a few minutes of not using it to save the battery. It probably keeps checking for movement.
I would disable the mouse to wake and just use keyboard to wake.I had the same issue, I think it might be my Anker wireless optical mouse.

Didn't know you could disable the mouse to wake the pc, where are the settings for that?I would disable the mouse to wake and just use keyboard to wake.
OK I've just found it under Device Manager, Thanks!Didn't know you could disable the mouse to wake the pc, where are the settings for that?
Yeah you can!Didn't know you could disable the mouse to wake the pc, where are the settings for that?
Visit: Device manager > Mice and other pointer devices > "Right click" Properties > Power management tab > Untick "allow this device to wake the computer"
