33How to Prevent Your Computer From Waking Up Accidentally
Putting your PC to sleep is a great way to save energy while still making sure you can resume work quickly. But what can you do if your PC keeps waking up on its own? Here’s how to figure out what’s waking it up, and how to prevent it.
When you put your PC to sleep, it enters a power-saving state where it shuts down power to most of the PC’s components, keeping just enough power trickling to keep the memory refreshed. This lets you quickly wake the computer back up to the same state it was in when it went to sleep—including any documents and folders you had open. One of the differences between sleep and hibernation is that when a PC is alseep, activity from certain devices can wake it up. Scheduled tasks can also be configured to wake the PC up so that they can run.
