As I said awhile back, I had to uninstall my OS and reinstall it. I tried uninstalling my third-party scheduler software “Say the Time” and the computer still awoke out of the sleep mode. I checked the task scheduler and that had nothing scheduled. The first result was my HID mouse and keyboard so I unchecked both “to wake the computer” setting and again, it did not work.

I used “cmd” prompt and “powercfg –devicequery wake_armed” to tell me what devices were waking it after I put it in sleep mode and it woke up. I switched the BIOS setting from S3 to S1 and that did not work. I tried a clean boot and could not find the program or service that wakes it. I tried checking the “magic packet only box” but that did not work. I have been able to keep the computer in sleep mode through the network card’s power management settings by un-checking the wake up box, but I just shut it off at night and put it on in the morning. Have tried everything suggested and nothing seems to work. It has been since last October that I posted my problem. I wanted to use the PC to wake me up to music and schedule it to wake upįor other tasks. Let me try again! My goal is to put my computer in sleep mode and ideally have a third party software or at least the task scheduler to wake it up. Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = ".17514" Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 540 3.07GHz, 3067 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) Do you have a resolution to this annoying problem? However, when I installed the necessary Windows updates, it woke itself up.

I discovered that the compute awoke when I prompted it by my commands and not by itself. I finally decided to do a complete reinstall of Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium version due to other issues.

I went to Windows and Microsoft forums and tried several suggestions and none worked: When I first set up the computer, it worked fine, but after many downloads and changes some software is waking the computer up after a few seconds to a minute. I want the computer to stay in sleep mode until that software wakes it up to announce an appointment of mine or to wake me up to my favorite music. I have software that reminds me of appointments. My Inspiron 580 desktop computer awakes out of the sleep mode without me prompting it.
