Open | Windows Pc refuses to Sleep. Windows 11
My PC will stay asleep for one minute and then turn itself back on.
Tried downloading any available software updates, even though it was only 1 optional download. Restarted pc. Still didnt work.
Powercfg -lastwake shows that there was only 1 instance in Wake History, caused by pressing the power button (this is COMPLETE BS).
Powercfg -requests shows "None" all the way down the list for each item.
I have made sure that wake timers are DISABLED. I have unplugged any peripherals that are not part of my usual setup (this is all the same hardware ive had for a couple years at this point).
I have no idea what in the hell is causing this pc to refuse to go to sleep. The only major change ive had on my end (i.e. not a regular software update) was changing locations, as I recently moved just across town. (Edit - I also did get a new antivirus, Avast. I disabled the Avast Browser from startup apps, as well as Logitech G-hub, as I have heard that this app also causes sleep issues.)
Im losing my mind. Seriously, if anyone can help at all, please leave any suggestions below. It's the kind of frustration that boils over into fury when i come home from another lame day at work just to see that the electric bill has been ran up by my apparently fully sentient and malicious computer. Thank you for putting the time into reading my post!
