Automatic wake up just seconds after put in hibernation

Question

Automatic wake up just seconds after put in hibernation

Heidi Fossum 20

My PC wakes up just seconds after put in hibernation. Same thing happens when put in sleep mode. Have updated BIOS and repaired Windows 11 (23H2). Have tried cmd hibernate of/on etc. Nothing helps.

Anyone knows how to avoid this problem?

Answer 1

Hi,

Search for Edit Power Plan and, select Change advanced power settings and set "Allow wake timers" to "Disable" under both the "On battery" and "Plugged in" sections. Open Task Scheduler and look for any tasks that are set to wake the computer and disable them. Also open Device Manager and check devices that might be causing the wake-up issue. Right-click on the device, select Properties, go to the Power Management tab, and uncheck the option "Allows this device to wake the computer".

Best Regards,

Only partly solved.

Problem solved for Sleep (It was the Synaptics Precision Touchpad Filter Driver), but didn't solve the Hibernate issue. Suggestions? Is there any software that can find and solve the problem?

Thanks anyway!

Hello Heidi,

One could use Windows Performance Recorder (WPR) to trace what happens when entering hibernation. In a command window running as administrator, one could enter the commands:

wpr -start Power -filemode

[enter hibernation and bounce back out]

wpr -stop why.etl -skipPdbGen

This will produce a lot of data (perhaps approaching a gigabyte) in the file "why.etl".

You could view the data using Windows Performance Analyzer (WPA), which is available from the Microsoft Store.

It might take an experienced eye to get the most out of the trace data; if you are willing to share the data then I would take a look at it - I could also provide a custom version of the "Power" profile that focusses on this particular issue and therefore reduces the amount of trace data produced.
