How to impede W10 from hibernating automatically?

It sounds like it was shut down, and it did a fresh boot, and then the boot loader default caused Linux to come up. I've had that random booting stuff happen here on my desktop, and shutting off the power at the back of the desktop... stops it.

I might have to upgrade my CPU+motherboard.

AFAIK, the 'powercfg' command can solve your problem. " powercfg /devicequery wake_armed " "wake_armed" returns just: " HID Keyboard Device (001) "; i.e. hitting the keyboard will wake my computer. a mouse movement should no longer wake the computer/monitor. It's become apparent to me that waking the monitor is not the same thing as waking the computer; there are settings for the latter, but not the former. A mouse button toggles my monitor "off/on" (sleep/wake); when a random bump wakes my monitor, my code turns it off again. But, with DisplayPort, "sleep" is no different than "unplugged"; so I get blasted by a bright "no signal" message, right when I'm trying to relax. Hopefully, switching to a HDMI v2 cable will solve my problem; I'll know later this week, when it arrives. My iGPU, the Core-i7-5775c, stops at HDMI v1.4; so I might have to upgrade my CPU+motherboard. My motherboard BIOS has settings for standby and while software can put it in standby, I have to press the power button once to go active, or I can press the power button to put it in standby (press and hold switches it off) Check your BIOS and see if it has choices like that. It is not that kind of sleep. It is controlled by the operating system, because it is running, not by the BIOS. Windows and Linux can both initiate a standby mode from software, but only the power switch can wake it not the keyboard or mouse. ("wake on LAN" is a choice, but I've never used it) Sure, but Jeff-Relf.Me is not using it. How do I know? Because he is using a software phone, which means the CPU is fully awake waiting for calls (hopefully it slows down the clock). The only thing that goes to sleep in his setup is the display. -- Cheers, Carlos. |

It sounds like it was shut down, and it did a fresh boot, and then the boot loader default caused Linux to come up. It was hibernated to disk, not to ram. Fully powered up, except for the CMOS clock. In that mode it works as a normal boot and grub mandates what it starts. Then whatever does, it loads its own hibernated image. Yes, grub should boot the previously booted operating system. This is failing in my setup, I will investigate why. I activated the option to do this, but there must be some config mistake or problem. (it is a nuisance when updating Windows with several reboots) I've had that random booting stuff happen here on my desktop, and shutting off the power at the back of the desktop... stops it.

Have you replaced Windows File Explorer with XYplorer ?

[...] A funny thing happened: the machine came out of hibernation on its own, That probably means that it was *not* hibernated. When in hibernation, the system can only respond to the power-button (and other hardware related things, such as Wakeup on LAN). Remember hibernation is a non-power state, i.e. you can disconnect the power (and remove the battery if a laptop) and the system can still resume from hibernation when power is restored and the power-button is pressed. Does your system have any special *hardware* sources which could have woken it up from hibernation? [...] |

My computer never sleeps.
Yes, Carlos, my computer never sleeps.
I put my monitor to sleep so that there's no light, no back-lighting. My computer draws a few watts, and the CPU/GPU is slightly above room temperature. |
