PC keeps waking up from sleep. Alreay took away persmision from devices.

This is not new for me. Almost every time after installing windows on a machine I get this problem.
So after installing Windows 10 I went into device manager and disallowed almost all of the devices from waking up the PC
Everything was fine for a few days
but yesterday I believe an update was installed and now the PC wont stay sleeping for more than a minute before starting back up
I have disallowed every single device from waking up the PC and yet it keeps waking back up.
Is anyone else having this issue after the latest update to Windows 10? Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks for reading

Your caches may be corrupted. Try a Safe Boot by pressing the Shift key. You should see a progress bar. It's important to let this Safe Boot run its course without interruption; otherwise, you can trash the file system badly enough to require a restore from backup. (Been there, done that. Lesson learned!)

Awakening Officejet Printer 4610/4620 from sleep to print by wireless from HP Laptop

If I leave the Officejet 4610/4620 Printer on for several hours, I have to turn it off and back on if I want to print from an HP Laptop, Windows 7, using a wireless modem.

Hi,
Please install this firmware update for the printer.

No audio after waking from sleep, need to plug in headphones

Hi,
This is a little different from the other posts that I've searched for, so I'll give it a go in a new thread.
After I wake up my MacBook from sleep, there is no sound from the internal speakers. The volume controls still behave the same (no crossed-out circles or whatnot), just no sound. The only way I've figured out to fix it is by plugging in something into the headphone jack (and there is audio through the headphones), and then unplugging it. After that, the internal speakers have sound again.
This repeats itself every time I put the computer to sleep and wake it back up again.
Any thoughts?
George

I'm trying to flip the switch or something not really sure how to do it?
You just have to poke around in there and try to get it to release. If you can't get it to go out, you will need to have it taken apart to repair.

ICloudDrive.exe keeps waking up my PC

I have my Windows 7 PC set to sleep after being idle for 10 minutes. Since I installed the latest iCloud control panel and enabled iCloud Drive my machine keeps waking up after sleeping for about 10 seconds. The machine then sits there for the 10 minutes specified, sleeps for 10 seconds and wakes up again in this sleep wake loop. After much searching I have discovered that it is iclouddrive.exe that is causing this problem. If I kill the iclouddrive.exe task everything is ok. The machine sleeps until I wake it or one of the scheduler tasks wakes it.
I can leave iclouddrive.exe running, go into control Panel / Power Options / Advance Power Setting / Change When My Computer Sleeps / Change Advance Power Settings / Sleep / Allow Wake Timers and set it to "Disable". The machine sleeps after 10 minutes ok and wakes as normal when the mouse or keyboard is used, BUT no schedules tasks run.
It seems to be a bug in iclouddrive.exe .

This fix would not correct the situation with my PC. The only thing that works is to complete disable the iclouddrive services, etc. Hoping that Apple comes up with a fix for this soon. In the meantime, I have unchecked the iCloudDrive option to prevent it from running on my PC until the bug is corrected.

MacBook won't wake up from sleep / boot up.

My MacBook has trouble waking up from sleep, and sometimes booting up from a normal shutdown. When I open the clamshell after I put the computer to sleep, the indicator light doesn't blink, but is lit up, and the screen is completely blank. Pressed all keys, and still it won't wake up. I've had the same problem with booting up the computer from a normal shutdown as well. I've tried holding on to the power key and doing a hard reset, but nothing seems to work. However, I can't seem to pinpoint the cause of this problem, it seems to be completely arbitrary. Sometimes, it wakes without a problem, and sometimes it just stays in "zombie" mode for .. extended periods of time.
I've also resetted the PMU, and the NVRAM as well. I'm not sure how this could affect it, but a few days ago, my CD drive broke. When I tried to boot up, the CD drive seemed to be turning to find a CD, and couldn't boot up. So I took it to the Apple guy and got the CD drive removed completely. I took the MacBook back to him with this waking up problem, and he says it's fixed, but it really isn't.
Help! I can't

I can't boot up MacBook and I,m wondering if you tried SafeBoot. I went through the process, got the progress bar, then nothing. Just more blue screen and gear spinning.

Time Machine "preparing backup" eternally upon wake from sleep

at a bit of a loss here...
iMac 24" (version which offered 7300GT as BTO option)
10.5.5 with all updates applied
LaCie 500 gig USB 2.0 drive directly attached.
Up until about two months ago, Time machine functioned fined. Then for some reason, the following started to happen. (no known reason, no software update related etc, that I know of)
scenario... Time Machine functions correctly EXCEPT when waking from sleep. If iMac wakes from sleep and attempts a backup immediately (e.g. more than one hour has passed), it gets stuck "preparing backup" forever. I've let it run overnight (actually as long as about 30 hours), it never stops. Finder and other programs become extremely non-responsive, machine is almost unusable. Literally, the only way out is to manually shut down external drive, with attendant warnings/errors.
What I've done:
1) deleted the time machine .plist file
2) erased, repartioned (as a single partition) external drive
3) started brand new time machine backup (takes about three hours)
At this point, time machine will backup up fine... I can force a successful backup, if I leave the machine running, at one hour it does a successful backup.
BUT, as soon as it goes to sleep, time machine is hosed.
The only workable method for using time machine is to turn the external drive and time machine off when not using it, and turn the whole shootin' match on to do what essentially becomes manual backups. These backup are fairly lengthy, as time machine also does lengthy "preparing backup", but they complete in about 30 minutes to one hour.
Given that time machine doesn't give mountable/cloneable backup, I'm probably going to go back to Carbon Copy Cloner. Still, I like the ease/regularity of Time Machine, and would use it if it works.
Any ideas?
thanks

It could be a number of things. There are lots of things that Time Machine does in order to "manage" backups -- apart from just copying data to the backup drive.
It has to manage the transition of hourly backups into daily backups and must also transition daily backups into weekly backups. Each time it does this it has to move a lot of data around. It also has to maintain indexes of everything so you can quickly find backups should you want to perform a restore.
I've also noticed that there are circumstances that can cause TM to question whether it can trust it's existing backup database... I've caught Time Machine saying that it needs to do a "deep traversal" of the backup (basically it wants to check and see what it really has) and this can take a very long time.
Still... 30 hours is an extremely long amount of time. I'm almost wondering if there's a problem with either your USB bus or your drive when they wake up such that you may be getting a huge number of retries on something that should have happened quickly.
I'd suggest you start the "Console" utility, select "All Messages" at the left, and then watch the messages being written to your log file. Not only does Time Machine log all of it's progress messages to the system.log (in more detail than you'd see in the Time Machine UI), but so do lots of other system processes. If you're getting USB bus problems the error messages would likely show up in the same log. I'm especially suspicious about non-TM related causes since you said you've already blown away your TM backups & preferences and started from scratch and you're still getting the problem.
Try re-creating your problem with the Console log messages being displayed and see if you can't see something in the log that would let you get a little closer to the root cause.

Powerbook won't wake from sleep when unplugged from power

hi everyone,
i have a 15" 1ghz titanium powerbook, running 10.4.6.
recently (maybe since 10.4.6?) i haven't been able to wake the machine from sleep when i unplug it from powering up in sleep mode, to open it up someplace else to run it on batteries for a little while. i always have to do a hard-reboot (holding down the startup button for several seconds). this usually destroys my dock and other preferences when i'm "back in".
does anyone know what might be causing this? it seems to be a recent development. it's unpleasant, because i frequently have the powerbook charge itself while asleep, and then i want to unplug it and quickly do something in another room running it on batteries. afaik sleeping and awakening works fine as long as i don't plug/unplug the power cable before waking it up.
any hints would be greatly appreciated...thank you!

PowerBook G4 15 1 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi A.L.,
I have a Cinema Display which I often use on the back of my Ti. I know the laptop will not wake if there is no power and it has an external DVI display attached.
Perhaps your computer thinks it has some monitor attached - perhaps checking the DVI port for damage would be worth it?

When the mac wakes from sleep, the wireless icon disappears

Hi All, I have a third party wireless PCI card in the PowerMac G4 MDD which works fantastically. The only issue I have is when the machine wakes from sleep, the wireless icon disappears from the top menu and the machine freezes and I have to force shut down.....
Any ideas?
I am running 10.5.8....

Hi, Garry -
It seems some PCI cards don't handle sleep well; sometimes they exhibit behavior such as you've noted, sometimes they just prevent the machine from entering sleep.
In many cases the solution can be to sleep only the monitor; in the Sleep prefs pane, set the sliders for System and Hard Drive to "never", and the one for the monitor to your choice of delay. This arrangement also means waking from sleep is faster.

Can I wake my Mac from sleep with network activity?

Just got a MBP and now am enjoying mounting it on my iMac and vice versa via my home network (using URL address with AFP://xxx.xxx.xxx.local). Question: Is there a way to wake either one from sleep when I access it from the other?
TIA,
Picman

Elamc,
OK, I now know. Some Macs will support both Ethernet and wireless and some won't. The setting in my MBP says "Wake for network access", while my iMac says "Wake for network Ethernet access". The MBP supports both, but the iMac just with a cable connection. I did find a good tech note that describes the how's and what's. Just Google "Mac wake on network access" and look at "Mac OS X v10.6: About Wake on Demand".
Thanks for your info ... it helped.

Volume buttons stop working after wake from sleep

I have a Pavilion dm4-1162us. The volume buttons do not work after the notebook wakes from sleep. It works initially from a normal startup. A restart will also resolve the issue. The quicklaunch buttons are the default buttons, that is it is set so the "fn" button needs to be used to use the function "f1, f2, f3, etc." keys.

Welcome to Windows. Some devices do not like to be put to sleep in Windows.
There could be driver updates or hot fixes from MS to fix these.
A very proven method (though not for battery life) is to instruct the devices not to go to sleep when the system goes to sleep. You can do this via the device manager in the control panel.
Its not a gracious solution but it will do what you want it to do.

MacBook Pro keeps waking from sleep on its own

My MacBook Pro keeps waking itself from sleep for no reason.
I had the battery changed for free by Apple (apparently it's one symptom of a problem with the original battery) but it hasn't abated. (Occasionally it won't wake up from sleep too, but that's rare and so not much of a problem). The main issue is its inability to stay asleep.
Anyone else had this? I can't find any advice anywhere else and the Genius Bar at the only store I can get to is always fully-booked.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi craigie, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
In addition to Michael's ideas, there have been some weird sleep issues caused by a System Preference, and although your issue doesn't sound the same, if you run on AirPort (and not Ethernet) I'd check it out anyway:
-Open System Preferences.
-Open Network.
-Click on Built-in Ethernet (note what it says underneath it: Not Connected or Inactive; Inactive is what seems to have caused the majority of other issues).
-Click the - button at the bottom of the window to delete the original Ethernet pref.
-Click Apply.
-Click the + button.
-For Interface, select Ethernet.
-For Service Name, enter Built-in Ethernet.
-Click on Create.
-Make sure your Location is set to Automatic or AirPort (or whatever you normally have it set to).
-Click on Apply and close Preferences.

Why does my computer keep freezing after waking from "sleeping"?

I'm running Lion (10.7.2) and frequently, not everytime, but often, the computer will freeze about 1-2 min after I've woken it from sleep – there are usually 1-2 applications open and then I can work for about a couple minutes and then it freezes and the only way to resolve it is to power it off w/ the power button and then restart.
I've got a late 2008 15" MacBook Pro, 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM – there is very little on the hard drive, but that seems irrelevant here anyway.
Thanks for any tips/help!

Can iMac not waking from sleep be caused be a corrupt file

I have had my 27" iMac from July of 2011 (running Montain Lion, 8 GB RAM, 2TB hardrive, 3.4 GHz,Intel i7) for over a year and a half and ever since I bought it, it has had a problem waking from sleep. I can hear the computer running, but when I click the mouse, keyboard, or power button, it stays asleep and I am forced to do a hard shut down. Apple has been trying to fix the issue, but to no success. They have replaced the hard drive, logic board, usb ports, RAM, mouse and keyboard, but it still happens. They finally threw in the towel and are replacing the machine. They offered to transfer all of our files (jpgs, mp3s, docs, videos, etc), but one thought occurred to me... what if the sleep issue is caused by a corrupt file? I highly doubt that is the case, but wonder if any of the experts out here would know better than I.
If we didin't have the data transfered, we would just keep it on an external hard drive instead. But, I would assume that it wouldn't matter if the files were on internal vs. external because either way, the computer would access the files. That being the case, if the sleep issue was caused by a corrupt file, the computer would still access it on the external and the sleep issue would resurface.
So, 2 questions:
Can a corrupt file cause the sleep issue?
If it is true that a corrupt file can cause the sleep issue, would it matter if the corrupt file was accessed from an external drive vs. internal drive?
Thanks so much!
Chris

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
