My PC has insomnia, halp!

Since Windows 8.1 finally rolled out, I went ahead and installed Windows 8 on my PC, and then did the free upgrade to 8.1. PCs running better than ever. However, there is one issue I'm having that I just cant figure out. I put my PC to sleep, and leave. When I come back a few hours later its awake. I thought it may be my mouse waking it, so I disabled the mouse from waking but that didn't fix my issue.

Any Idea's?

Had this. you need to go to device manager > network adapter > properties > power management > untick "allow this device to wake the computer".

Fixed my issue with it, might not be the issue causing yours though.

Thank you, will try

I had the same issue! I always figured it was my sensitive Naga though.

There's actually a really easy solution for this, Windows has a built-in function for figuring out what woke up your PC:

If it wasn't the very last thing to wake your computer, check below in the link for the event viewer instructions

This is what I'm getting:

Looks like the Antivirus is waking your computer so it can check for updates.

Any way to make it check for updates only when Im on the PC?

It actually looks like it's media center doing the update, see if this gets you anywhere: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...-computer.html

Press the Windows Button and write the Word "cmd" and press enter, this should open the command prompt (a Black Screen), on this program write "Taskschd.msc" and press enter, this should open the Task scheduler there you can check all the antivirus-related tasks that are active on your computer just click one by one and check the "Conditions" tab, there should be an option to disable Waking up the computer.

Edit : Yeah missed that part, thanks for the correction Caiyuo.
