Windows 10 keeps waking from sleep
The "Wake on Magic Packet" option may turn the computer on (if someone/something is pinging the computer). Go through Device Manager to resolve this and not the Network and Sharing Center (see EXPLANATION below).
STEPS:
- Open the "Device Manager"
- Open the "Network adapters" tree
- Select your adapter (you may have two if you have both wireless and Ethernet capabilities)
- Right-click on the adapter
- Select "Properties"
- Select the "Advanced" tab
- Under the "Property" box, scroll down and select "Wake on Magic Packet"
- Change the "Value" drop-down box to "Disabled"
EXPLANATION: You can go through the "Network and Sharing Center" by selecting "Change adapter settings" on the left side of the screen; selecting your adapter's "Properties"; selecting "Configure"; and then going to the "Power Management" tab. However, I've noticed on some of my computers (including Windows 7), that the magic packet option will be grayed out or unchecked in the "Power Management" tab but be "Enabled" in the "Advanced" tab.
Using the Device Manager route solved my issue with unwanted waking from sleep on my laptop. Good luck.
