Hi!
I know this is crops up a lot but none of the threads I found here or elsewhere were able to solve my problem.
My notebook (Lenovo Thinkpad T530, Win7 Professional) wakes up a few minutes after being sent into standby or hibernation. This started just a couple of days ago; I've been using hibernation for two years on this laptop without problems.
Things I've tried:
- Turning Wake on Lan off (actually did that years ago)
- Disabling network adapter (wireless) before hibernation
- Disconnecting USB devices (only mouse)
- Complete virus scan (MS Security Essentials)
- Complete malware scan (Spybot SD)
- Checked the windows scheduler (A guide specifically mentioned windows media centre but it's not set to update. I started going through everything but to be honest there are too many entries to check without knowing what to look for)
- Checked powercfg -lastwake in command prompt (run in admin mode)
Apparently powercfg doesn't recognise anything that might trigger a wakeup (including the mouse when connected), always showing this:
Wake history count - 1
Wake history [0]
Wake source count - 0
Recent changes I've made:
- Installed EA Origin (not running it though) and Battlefield 3 (already uninstalled)
- Installed Starcraft 2 (Bnet client was already installed. Closing it before hibernation had no effect)
- Removed and hid the Windows update which put the Win10 update prompt in the system tray
Other notes:
- Lenovo and Windows updates are routinely run so software should be up to date. I'm not aware of any recent Lenovo updates that might have triggered this (i.e. there were no recent updates at all)
- Windows update is set to install only when the computer is shut down
- Regular virus scan is set for Sunday noon (recently changed from Sunday nighht but it never caused a wake-up before)
I'd welcome any ideas as to what else might be causing this and how I might fix the issue.
Thank you in advance,
Gene
