Is your computer staging a nightly revolt, stubbornly waking up from sleep mode? You're not alone! This frustrating issue plagues many users, but thankfully, there are solutions.
First, check your wake timers. These scheduled tasks (like Windows Updates) can rouse your machine. Disable them in Power Options > Change advanced power settings > Sleep > Allow wake timers.
Next, examine connected devices. A faulty mouse or keyboard can send phantom signals. Try unplugging them to see if the problem persists. Network activity can also be a culprit. Check your network adapter's properties in Device Manager and disable "Allow this device to wake the computer."
Finally, consider recent software installations. A new program might be triggering unexpected wake-ups. If you've recently installed something, try uninstalling it to see if that resolves the issue.
By systematically investigating these potential causes, you can finally achieve a peaceful night's sleep for both you and your computer!
