How can I tell if my computer went to sleep?
I'm trying to work out if my computer has actually fallen asleep, I have set it to fall asleep, but it restarts so quickly, I cannot tell if it was actually having zzzzs or not.
What logs are there to tell me when and if my PC fell asleep?
Oh I found it, only minutes after posting this.
- Crack open event viewer (eventvwr from the command line)
- event ID 42 in System log from source Kernel-Power as the sleeping event
- event ID 1 in System log from source Power-Troubleshooter for computer's awakening
The last and first logs entries upon sleeping/waking up
This command (from the commandline) also lets you know what is keeping your PC awake (if anything)
powercfg -requests
