    After I disabled the network and the mouse earlier on, I have NONE now which is good. Let's see if this is enough!

    Thanks all for your help
    You're welcome. I'm assuming that your computer won't wake up by itself anymore.
    If it does in the future, use that same command: powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
    to see what got re-enabled again. I've experienced a similar issue where my keyboard and mouse got re-enabled after some time. I'm assuming probably from some Windows Updates. This happened like a few years ago, and never again. So let's see what happens. Keep note of that specific command for future reference.

    I shall do - that command is indeed great. Still surprised MS didn't make it a bit easier as it seems like a widespread issue.

    Thanks again all for your time!

    I'll agree with you on that one.


    And you're very welcome. =)

    I'm picking this up again.

    I'm giving up on sleep. I always find the laptop running when closed despite no armed devices etc.
    The usual scenario is: I return home and I plug the charger. The "charger" is in fact a dock which charges via USB-C and also connects a bunch of devices.

    Those devices wake the laptop up.

    I've now switched to hibernation, I can't have the laptop running every night by itself!

    I think I asked this already but is there a way to tell Windows "DO NOT wake up UNLESS I open the bloody lid"?

    Thanks!
