High Definition Audio Controller Waked Dell XPS M1710 from Sleep
That's what command powercfg -devicequery wake_armed tells me when I run it
after the machine wakes from Sleep. Bizarre! Anyone else seen this? TIA. Gary |

wake_armed tells what could start, not what did start.
powercfg -lastwake gets you what caused the last wakeup. device manager system devices high definition audio controller power management there is check box to allow this device to wake the computer I have it unchecked on my Dell XPS 410 Michael "Gary J.

.... and that made NO difference either. VBG
the -lastwake points to the RTC. So how does that help? TIA. Gary "Gary J. Dikkema" wrote in message ... Awesome! Didn't even see the device there; mine also *had* a checkmark. Now to see...

RTC - Real Time Controller (on the motherboard)
You have set up something to run at a specified time Vista sets the RTC to wake the computer at that time as it was going to sleep. Possible items that are set to wake the computer at certain times: Scheduled software updates (Microsoft or security software for instance) Update the TV guide in Windows Media Player Calendar programs Backup programs Phone home programs (legit or malware) One area that you can check for scheduled programs is the Task Scheduler, not all programs that schedule themselves do so through the Task Scheduler however.

Thanks Michael...
The laptop had this problem out of the box when it arrived. Understand your comments below; have checked Task Scheduler as well as Eventlog etc. Tell me, does your laptop wake up from Sleep overnight? Do you have all of the Dell utilities installed? I have white boxes that I've built that do NOT have this issue. Some have dual tuners... Fun stuff eh! VBG Thanks again! Gary "Michael Walraven" wrote in message ...

Gary,
My laptop does not wake from sleep, but then it is XP so not really apropos. My desktop (Vista) does wake itself up from the hibred/sleep mode to perform various tasks. It then goes back to sleep. It is certainly possible that the DellCrap that was preinstalled on your computer is updating stuff or phoning home. Waking up from sleep is a purposeful feature of Vista. However some people hate it. There are many threads on the groups with subjects like 'laptop wakes up' 'won't stay asleep' etc. Unfortunately those threads seem to attract a lot of trolls and MS haters. Be carefully what advice you take from these threads as you can end up with a damaged system. On my Vista XPS410 desktop I only have one task in Task Scheduler that is set to wake the computer, that is RoxioUpdater. You can go through each task in the Task scheduler to see if any there are set to wake the computer. You need to click on each folder in the left pane, then if any items show in the top middle pane select them one at a time and look in the lower middle pane Conditions Tab, under power settings is 'Wake the computer to run this task button' Programs CAN schedule themselves without listing in the task scheduler so this won't find them all.
