Windows 10 keeps waking up
- Thread starter brncao
- Start date
Have you tried disabling media streaming, or blocking the srvnet driver from keeping the PC awake (or waking the PC)? See the following:

You could also disable the update task from waking the PC to check for O/S updates (but the task may re-enable itself periodically). See here:

The latter tweak worked (for a while) to stop one of my Windows 10 PCs from waking up every/most nights.

Is Wake On Lan enabled? Here's a walkthrough that describes all the ways to enable it in Windows 10.
That thread seemed to ultimately lead me here:
How to Change Automatic Maintenance Settings in Windows 10
Also, this post notes that Task Scheduler has about ten tasks and sub-tasks that should be turned off; some may find these already turned off but if they're on, you probably want them off, especially if you're using a laptop.

Win10 was waking up every 15 or so minutes for me. Using Event Viewer, I found that the Windows Time service was waking up the PC to notify me that the time had been changed. I went to Control Panel -> Date and Time and unchecked "Notify me when the clock changes", but why was it doing that so often? While still in the Date and Time Control Panel, I clicked the Internet Time tab, clicked Change Settings and switched to time.nist.gov, then pressed "Update now". When I went back to the Internet Time tab, it now says "Next synchronization:" one week from now. The problem seems to be solved now.
