Computer coming out of sleep after a few minutes

[Meander]

I have a Lenovo all in one
Computer sometimes restarts automatically when in sleep. It varies from about a minute to over 40 minutes. I cannot find any progs running or updates etc. The mouse or the computer is not being moved. It is getting more regular now, about every three days.
Any suggestions please?

Thank you

Try to check your laptop's Power Options first through Control Panel. Under Power Options > Select Change When Computer Sleeps > Change advanced Power settings > Restore plan defaults ..

Please try to follow the steps below.

1. Press windows key then type Control Panel and hit enter
2. Select System and Security
3. Select Power Options
4. On the left pane, select "Choose what closing the lid does"
5. Select the option that you want and Click Ok
6. Restart your computer and check if it works

Thank you for the reply but i do not have a laptop. I have a Lenovo all in one desktop. Sorry did not realise they did a laptop version.

The method is the same, doesn't matter even a laptop or a desktop

I am using Lenovo ThinkPad Edge serie (previously manufactured by IBM using ThinkPad brand) later took over by Chinese stakes and removed the IBM tag ..

Thank you, Xploit Machine,closing the lid bit threw me, i have already tried what you suggested before. The fact that it only happens occasionally threw me. It is the same if i use the key board or the screen to set the sleep. Thre is no way the mouse is moved either.

Strange .. I even left my laptop overnight by closing the lid, the next day everything seems fine as after opening the lid and mocing mouse / touchpad the computer wakes as usual ..

Thank you RogerOver, will check it out. I have disabled a lot using ccleaner but this seeems more efficient.

Thank you RogerOver, have done as you have suggested and now have to wait to see if it is sorted.
Being as it only happens accasionaly, will have to wait for a week to see the results.

Hi folks,
Having done the recommendations from above posts, the compuetr today came out of sleep again. It was after about 1 hour.
Not sure what to do now except a complete resore.
thank you all for trying to help

 

[RogerOver]

A last guess.
You could go to "Search" or "Run" and type "taskschd.msc" (Task scheduler).
As you have the time (approx.) = your contribution minus one hour, look for the time of the (last) trigger that corresponds more or less.
If it says several triggers, click on the line to see the trigger times.
Thus you could find out what event awakes your laptop.
Then you still need to decide whether to stop the service or not.
Be careful !

Thanks for your reply. Will have to look at this later.

Decided to do a complete reinstall.
Will see what happens then.
Will take a week or so to see the results.
Will come back then
Thank you all

Thanks to all.
Have done a clean install of W10 and am now ok
I know this was not a resolution to the error but i think i am happier with W10

Yes, you are right ! I also changed several times between the versions.
Next time you could further try "Explorer Patcher". It gives you a "Windows 10 feeling" on Windows 11.
