    Win 10 home 64 bit command line Sleep command


    If I use the power icon and thenclick sleep my backup software will wake up my computer and backup run myschedule.
    If I use any of the followingcommand lines, the software cannot wake my computer, I have ran “powercfg/h /off” at C:\windows\system32 in Powershell as administrator
    Does anyone know of a bettercommand to put the computer to sleep?
    %windir%\System32\rundll32.exepowrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Standby
    %windir%\System32\rundll32.exepowrprof.dll, SetSuspendState Standby
    C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exePowrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Sleep 0,1,0
    C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe Powrprof.dll, SetSuspendStateSleep 0,1,0

    The first one simply turns Hibernation off, disables Fast Startup, and deletes the system file hiberfil.sys. I'm not aware of connection with Sleep or waking up on a trigger. I have these settings, as stated, on my machine, and I can still put it to sleep and wake it up. I'm not familiar with the last four at all, although sleep states are usually (I think) set in the BIOS. Whatever is set there is available in the OS. S0-S4, I think. Maybe S5.

    A little more info here: NO Hibernation just SLEEP

    Also, you might want to check your advanced power plan settings to see if you have enabled wake timers.
