New Windows: Let the sleep/hibe issues begin, again

I don't think it would be Windows, or any other OS for that matter, without power management issues of some sort out of the gate.

I'm two for two so far, laptop randomly hangs on user initiated sleep, not always, and when it sleeps it wakes fine, seems to be fine when it's done from a timer.

Desktop randomly wakes up from sleep on it's own, twenty minutes to an hour in, with a powercfg -lastwake looking at the Intel USB3 on my Z97 board.
Nothing plugged in USB other than mouse and KB and they are both set not to wake OS from sleep.

Been through such stuff before, as most of us have, none of the usual suspects seem to be the culprit. Clean install on the laptop didn't help, am going to do so on the desktop since i was going to anyway but I'm not super hopeful.


Otherwise to MS's credit upgrading on both of them was fast and painless and everything worked. It didn't occur to me in the midst of my enthusiasm that none of my hardware providers other than GPU's would have win10 drivers lol, but MS seems to have functional stuff rolled in for everything.

I am having none of those issues on all 3 of my computers...hmmm
IMO I seriously doubt that it is your OS....

Well, one is a pretty new HP laptop, one is a z97/i7 I built, neither had any problems the day before on 8.1. What would you guess it is?

I can remember trying to get this stuff to work on windows 95... lol

I have similar problem, restart from Windows 10 used to fail everytime on my motherboard. I've had to disable some boot optimizations to get it working again.

Yeah I think I've run into this with my brother's PC I updated to 10 (Q6600, 8 GB RAM, R7-260X). Monitor hangs on a blank screen when waking from sleep, completely non-responsive, requires a restart. Hope it gets fixed.

Uninstalling the Intel vid drivers on the lappy and reinstalling the current win10 drivers seem to have, tentatively, fixed it. That was a fresh install that I'd updated the vid drivers already on that was still acting up. Go figure.

The desktop so far so good, installing things very slowly and letting it sleep awhile, overnight is the real test though so testing takes a while.

Don't mean to thread jack but your post got my attention. Did you install the latest drivers from AMD for the 260X? It's 15.7 or something.

The reason I ask is because I'm also having wake from sleep issues with my 7850 but I'm on 8.1 not 10. Sometimes I have to hard reset to get back to the desktop.
Anyway, I was just curious what driver package you installed for your brothers 260X.

Yeah, I made sure to install the latest drivers available, 15.7.1.

Wake from sleep issues have hounded GCN based AMD cards, 7000 series and newer), since their first release. I think the issue on my brother's PC in particular is related to the Windows 10 driver somehow, since it didn't happen before upgrading to Windows 10 (he upgraded from 7).

I've been having issues with it waking from sleep, waiting for a while then going back to sleep... it'll do this quite a few times each night.

Update might fix it, there was an acpi.sys and some other power management lookin stuff in there I read. You can do the powercfg command line dance and figure out what's waking it if not.

Did you try waking it by keyboard and then seeing if pwcfg reported it accurately? Very odd it would report nothing. In hardware management, for each device under the power management tab, uncheck allow this to wake computer, mouse, modems, network, etc, etc, everything but the keyboard.
Disable wake timers under power management advanced settings, and you might look through the task scheduler and see if anything is set to wake it up for something.

It had already woken itself up.


Ya it's still doing it, since 4pm when I put it to sleep till now (10pmish) it resumed 13 times:
Kernel-General = The system time has changed to blah blah blah. Change Reason: System time synchronized with the hardware clock.

Kernel-Power = Firmware S3 times. (Just reports number of times powerup)

Power-Troubleshooter = The system has returned from a low power state.
Wake Source: Unknown

k57nd60a = Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet: Network controller configured for 100Mb full-duplex link.

As for Advanced Settings: Sleep - Allow hybrid sleep: on, Hibernate after: never, Allow Wake Timers : disable
I've also disabled lan waking

Whats weird was this only started when I did a reset for Windows 10, the upgrade version with 8.1 didn't have a problem

Is the system time right? Dumb question but hey. Try unplugging everything but kb and mouse maybe.

If it's any consolation my laptop hung going to sleep again while ago.. :)


You could look at the maintenance and time sync service in task scheduler, maybe disable them both just to see.

Desktop was awake this morning with a "Owner Supplied Reason: Windows will execute 'NT TASK\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot' scheduled task that requested waking the computer" in the -lastwake log. Looks like it thought it still needed to reboot from the big update yesterday even though I'd done it manually. I'll call it goofy windows stuff unless it does it again. I think it woke up and realized it did't need to reboot, since it didn't, just woke up. Partial credit? lol..

Nope, nothing I tried worked. Removed usb devices, still woke, disabled time still woke, put it in hibernation mode instead, it would wake but didn't go back to sleep.

Ended up resetting Windows, at least it stays asleep now. *Cross fingers*

Do you for any chance have Teamviewer installed? The latest Teamviewer update is causing the Computer to wake up every 40 minutes. It has nothing to do with Windows 10 so. They are working on a fix. Thought I'll share this here as it was driving my crazy until I found it. You can see what might cause it by running "powercfg -waketimers".

If it is Teamviewer you can for now disable the Teamviewer Service which will stop it from setting waketimers. You can still keep the Teamviewer app running.
