My computer wakes itself up from sleep mode immediately on its own. This is an intermittent issue I have noticed.

Sometimes I put PC to sleep, my computer wakes up by itself immediately, after that happens usually I can put it back to sleep and it will stay asleep but sometimes I have to do it 2 times before it stays asleep.

I tried disable Magic Packet, but it didn't work.

    Hello , sorry about your problems. My name is Marco and I will do my best to help you.

    Your computer might be waking from sleep mode because certain peripheral devices, such as a mouse, a keyboard, or headphones are plugged into a USB port or connected via Bluetooth.

    To check what has woken up your PC there is a command to do in the command prompt.

    -Open Windows start menu and type: CMD

    -Right-click on "Command prompt" and select "run as admin"

    -Then enter: powercfg/lastwake

    -Press ENTER

    This will show you whether it is your devices, programs, or other actions that caused your Windows 10 computer to wake up. If you see something like USB, that means it is probably one of your USB devices, like your mouse of your keyboard.

    Also check if there is a timer with this command to enter in the same window.

    powercfg/waketimers

    Press ENTER

    Now, type: powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

    Press Enter.

    This will tell you which devices are causing your Windows 10 computer to wake up.

    If it is the mouse, network card, usb port or other device, follow these steps.

    Right click on Windows start menu and select "Device Manager"

    In the new window, double-click the guilty device.

    Then click the Power Management tab and untick the box next to "Allow this device to wake up the computer".

    Reboot your pc.

    Give me some news!

    Ok, so you can go to the device manager and disable as I mentioned above for the keyboard and/or mouse.
