My PC has developed a frightening habit: it keeps randomly waking up on its own from hibernation. Usually it occurs in the morning but sometimes in the night. Very unpleasant experience. Maybe somebody knows how to stop this practice?

There is probably some process running that you don't know about. To find out what's waking the computer you would need to run some sort of diagnostic. I know how to do this on the MacOS but not on PC. No doubt someone else will be able to help you. It's probably something very simple once you've identified it - but it could be anything. First question: is your hard drive mechanical or an SSD? Second question: do you leave applications running (such as email + checking) when your computer is hi...

I had a similar experience at home with the old computer. Used to wake up to some Live events I was subscribed to.
So I stopped leaving it on "sleep / hibernation" mode, just "shutting it down". It helped.
I think if you shut it down, it will not wake up in this way.
All the best,

I'd rather check BIOS and network cards/devices wake-up settings.
(Do backup settings and consult someone responsible and proficient!)
Or an interference and malfunctions ma come to play)

தலைப்பை ஆரம்பித்தல் | Thanks for your tips | Sep 5, 2017 |
As I am a well-known computer idiot and overloaded with jobs till the end of the month, extended searches are out of the question. Shutting PC down and then restarting all programs and docs is a mess, so I think that for the time being I'll simply let the PC do as it pleases:) as it seems that this is not a dangerous activity

I know this sounds terribly stupid, but it happened to me: do you have a laser mouse (one with a light, rather than a physical ball that moves over the surface)? If so, is it possible that the surface you leave your mouse on is subject to any vibration while your computer is off? (For instance, if you operate some machine or bump the table accidentally.) The mouse might be sending a tiny little movement to the computer, which then wakes up. Try leaving the mouse turned upside down and see whethe...

I have a laser mouse but the problem is that PC starts when I am sleeping and alone in the room. I live on the 10th floor so vibrations from starting a motor are hardly believable.
Anyway, I'll try to leave the mouse upside down and see what happens.

Do you have a cat that walks along your keyboard in the middle of the night? (this once happened to me).

I don't have a cat or dog, or another pet, only some plants. The strangest thing is that I have had this PC for two years and this poltergeist appeared out of the blue some 2 weeks ago.

| No maintenance or schedule? | Sep 5, 2017 |
Usually notebooks are prone to abusing Power?/battery settings and wake-up triggers, yet if your PC is plugged to UPS (namely an external battery), then checking Power scheme options might help. Hopefully, it's something trivial, not hardware issues.

What is the mess? I have 3 machines and turn them off when I go to bed, and turn them on first thing in the morning, take a shower, have my breakfast, etc, and when I am ready, my computer is too.
So to be frankly, I don't see the problem.

my CP is connected to UPS but within 2 years I have not changed any options.
