Windows 10: Ethernet stopped working on my desktop a few days ago. Each day when I wake up I have been...

I did not update anything, just shut down my computer as usual. The next day when I woke up it did not register an ethernet network. I was able to fix that and it worked fine until the next day when It would show up as a network but not give me any connection. I was able to fix that as well and then I put my computer to sleep to try and avoid this happening again. I am unsure as to what exactly fixed it on the previous days but today nothing worked.

Windows 10 desktop computer wakes up at the same time every day

Computer wakes up from sleep every day at 08:00 (give or take one minute) on it's own. Computer does not go back to sleep.

• Devices in device manager are not allowed to wake up (mice, keyboard).
• No settings in BIOS/UEFI are set to wake computer.
• powercfg /lastwake results are useless:
  • Wake History Count - 1
  • Wake History [0]
  • Wake Source Count - 0

Any Ideas where to look for problem or find a solution?

 

System waking at same time every day but no lastwake info

No but I have just disconnected it, and will check to see if the system wakes tomorrow evening - thanks for the suggestion. If WOL is set I'm not sure what is triggering a network event on this machine at the same time every day.

 

Can't stop machine waking itself from hibernation


My desktop machine keeps waking itself up from hibernation, usually during the night, despite my having taken all reasonable steps to stop it. I have:

• disabled waking on network, mouse and RTC in BIOS setup
• disabled wake on mouse and network in device manager (and checked with powercfg -devicequery wake_armed)
• disabled "allow wake timers" for all power plans

It doesn't however wake itself up from S5 (shutdown). I also tried leaving it in S3 sleep for over 24 hours and it didn't wake up, although that's not long enough to be certain that it never would.

Unfortunately my records in Event Viewer only go back a bit over a week to my upgrade to Windows 10, but I did notice a pattern in the first few days of waking at around 00:17 or 00:18 in the morning. Event Viewer suggested that this was due to mcupdate_scheduler, which was scheduled to run at 00:19, so I changed the trigger (following some instructions from Microsoft), but the next night the machine woke earlier, at 23:45. Unfortunately event viewer had no idea what caused that particular event. And today I have just run powercfg -waketimer and apparently there is a task \blah\blah\updateorchestrator\reboot which requires waking the machine just after 02:00 tomorrow morning. Clearly trying to change each individual trigger is a hopeless game of whack-a-mole which will sooner or later result in my wrecking something. How on earth can I stop my machine waking up?
