Windows 10 computer frequently awakes from Sleep mode on its own

[BB518]

My Windows 10 HP computer frequently awakes on its own from "Sleep Mode." How can i stop this behavior.

hello
a computer, wakes up normally by action of the keyboard, the mouse, if well configured
If you can try by disconnecting the alarm clock by one then the other , maybe that will tell you if it comes from the mouse for example

Hi, @BB518 

Another thing that you can try is to update the Intel Management Engine Interface driver to the latest version HP has for your PC if you have not done so already.

Driver - HP Pavilion Desktop - 570-p026 | HP® Customer Support

Along with the Chipset and graphics drivers, the IMEI device is partially responsible for controlling how the PC shuts down, restarts and sleeps.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the information and the link. 

I tried it and it didn't help. The computer wakes frequently from sleep for no apparent reason. I ran the powerrcfg /last wake command in a command prompt and the message I get is 

I can't find a way to find out or stop the PCIe Controller from waking the computer

You're very welcome.

Something is keeping that ethernet adapter on.

Your notebook doesn't have a Wake on Lan setting in the BIOS, does it?

If so, you can try disabling that.

I've had printers to that to me, but not an ethernet or Wi-Fi adapter.

Usually, it was a stuck print job that no one cleared out caused by trying to print from a printer that had been turned off at the time.

The only suggestion I can offer other than searching the internet for a solution would be to:

1. Navigate to Device Manager > Network adapters.
2. Right-click on your Ethernet connection and click Properties.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Under Property, scroll down and select Wake on magic packet.
5. Set the value to Disabled.
6. Click OK.

@BB518  Have you tried this, same goes for any connected device, or wired network
I did not mention the wired network, because at present practically everyone connects via Wifi
by elimination you may at least know the cause of the awakening

The source of waking up seems to be the PCIe Gbe Family Controller as indicated when I do a command prompt "powercfg/last wake".  Is there a way to turn off  that controller?

[Prométhée]

are you connected to this card?

[BB518]

Hi, I don't understand. What do you mean by connected?

I ran the "powercfg/lastwake" command  on the command line and this is my result

I ask you, if you use the card here to be connected to the internet
if so, in this case,  the given solution might have worked ?

• Under Property, scroll down and select Wake on magic packet.
• Set the value to Disabled

Did you find this?

If you are not connected to the network from this card, I am a little surprised that it wakes up the computer

and with this one

powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

Press Windows + X button and select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
When the command prompt opens, type the following:
powercfg device query wake_armed
You should see a list of all devices allowed to wake up your computer. Type powercfg -devicedisablewake device name in the command prompt to prevent a device from waking up your PC. Remember to replace the device name with the current device name. It's also important to keep the quotes, so don't remove them.
(16): You can use the powercfg -deviceenablewake device name command to enable certain devices to wake up your PC. The name of the respective device can be found in the device manager.
