    Computer waking from sleep after update


    Hi,

    A while back I had an issue where my computer would randomly turn on after being put to sleep/hibernate. I got incredibly frustrated because I would end up waking up in the middle of the night to find out it had turned itself on, or when I got back from work.

    At some point I finally found a fix (which I have forgotten) and no longer had the issue... until now. I recently installed a windows update which seems to have reintroduced the problem. Here is what I get:

    Code:
    C:\Users\Daniel>powercfg -lastwakeWake History Count - 1Wake History [0]  Wake Source Count - 1  Wake Source [0]    Type: Device    Instance Path: PCI\VEN_1B21&DEV_1142&SUBSYS_85BF1043&REV_00\4&373d9d05&0&00E4    Friendly Name:    Description: ASMedia USB3.0 eXtensible Host Controller    Manufacturer: ASMedia Technology Inc
    Code:
    C:\Users\Daniel>powercfg -devicequery wake_armedRazer BlackWidow Ultimate (001)HID Keyboard Device (002)HID Keyboard Device (003)Razer BlackWidow Ultimate (002)HID-compliant mouse (001)
    (please bear in mind that the above devices have always had the ability to wake the computer but has not been an issue before)

    I have tried the following solutions given in:

    and

    How to *disable* automatic reboots in Windows 10? - Super User

    without any luck.

    I just want to prevent ANY software process from initiating a startup. It's that simple. The only allowed wake should be if I'm pressing the power button or keyboard. Surely there is a way to do this that doesn't involve some complex/hacky process that gets wiped during each windows update?

    As you will probably be aware, some people have experienced and reported this quite commonly.

    Normally I leave my PC shut down.

    Will the automatic updates/ wakeups never occur, when the computer is set to shut down? In that case the very simple solution seems to be to shut down the computer every night..?

    The last time this happened to me (computer waking after a minute or two) it was network card. Unchecking its ability to wake computer solved my problem...
