I am restarting an old topic because I cannot for the life of me stop this process from waking my PC. My PC will enter sleep mode and turns back on 3 seconds later.

See fixes here, including disabling wake timers: If those don't work I will give you all possible fixes for Sleep. If you need help performing any step just ask back: First confirm you have the Sleep options configured correctly as shown here: You might want to try Hibernate to succeed Sleep, or use Hibernate in place of Sleep - it's a deeper sleep that actually powers off because the session stored in RAM during sleep is written to hard drive hiberfile then powered off. When it starts up it loads the hiberfile and starts faster. Most Sleep problems are caused by the Display driver, so try updating yours from the PC or Device maker's Support Downloads web page for your full model number, Serial Number or Dell Service tag. While there make sure you have the latest BIOS, Chipset, Network, Sound, USB and all other drivers by comparing those posted for download with the version and date of the corresponding ones in the Device Manager. If that doesn't help then in Device Manager on Display device Driver tab choose Roll back, Uninstall (then restart to reinstall) or try another one previously installed at Device Manager>Display adapter>Driver>Update Driver>Browse>Let me pick. In addition there are steps here to specifically troubleshoot Sleep mode problems:http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-windows-10-sle... What I do is go into Advanced Power options and set Display and Sleep to 1 minutes, Hibernate to 2 minutes, then after completing each step restart the PC and observe what happens for 3 minutes. This may have been caused by Windows Updates. Check which Updates were installed right before the problem began, and if necessary uninstall them from Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Installed Update History. You can also try to roll back using System Restore to a point before this began:

Then if an Update reinstalls and causes the same problem uninstall or roll it back again, then immediately hide it using the Hide Updates tool from Method Two here:

If nothing else helps you can run a Repair Install by installing the Media Creation Tool and choosing from it to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows in about an hour while saving your files, apps and most settings, solves many problems while also bringing it up to the latest version 1903 which you need anyway and by the most stable method.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m....
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you'll wait to rate whether my post helped you, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

So i can confirm all the settings in your links. This is an older PC which did not have this issue until I decided to install a fresh copy of Windows 10. It did previously have Windows 10, but I upgraded the hard drive just last weekend. The PC will go to sleep, but never any longer than 5 seconds. In the event log in most cases it says wake source is unknown.
All drivers are up to date, including all windows updates.
It looks like to me the startmenuexperiencehost needs removed from wake timers, but how? They are already disabled in the power plan settings. Below is what I see. Notice how there is no date when it expires.
C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -waketimers
Timer set by [PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\StartMenuExperienceHost.exe expires at 9:48:05 PM on .
Did you turn off Wake Timers to test that?See possible ways to disable wake by Start Menu Experience host:

Like I mentioned in my previous post yes.
When I ran the power troubleshooter the only thing it wanted me to do is change my power plan from high performance to balanced, which I did and I received the same result.
I have exactly the same problem. i have same thing
i've seen how guys disable it through group policies, but windows home has it deactivated

Any ideas how to fix it? Is there a solution in this.windows have become unbearable.You have to be a technician nowadays to just make the simplest adjustment.Shouldn't we be able to put pc to sleep woth a simple click?Why do we have to search online for hours for a solution.This dould be Microsoft's job.been trying to find a solution since April.Every time windows upgrades same thing.
Did you ever find a solution to this?
I've been having this problem for months and months now and have tried every bloody thing.
Sometimes I'll think that something has worked, and my PC will go to sleep no problem for a week or so, then the problem will randomly start again.
It's like about 20 seconds after I put it to sleep it will wake up again.
A few weeks ago I thought I had finally tracked it down to a Realtek driver for my ethernet controller, even though I don't even use ethernet. I uninstalled the driver and the PC seemed to go to sleep.
Then a few weeks later it's back doing the same thing.
My Event Viewer seems to say that it's thePCI-to-PCI Bridge, but that doesn't narrow it down very much.
Powercfg waketimers just says:
Timer set by [PROCESS] Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\StartMenuExperienceHost.exe expires at 04:00:00 on .
Same as you, I've tried just about everything, but I can't seem to find any additional info on why the StartMenuExperienceHost would set some kind of hidden timer to persistently wake the PC.
I have an AMD Ryzen 3600 cpu on an X570 motherboard, I run Wifi mouse and keyboard by USB, but literally everything has power wake timers disabled except the mouse.
It's really bloody annoying! I mean, if I decide my PC should never wake from sleep, except by the mouse, then this is how it should behave.
There's nothing more annoying than arriving at your PC the next day and finding that it has been awake all night.

Unfortunately i have not been able to find a solution. The strange thing is, i bought a pci express NIC card and my pc does go to sleep but my motherboard is old and it doesn't support wake on lan via pci express. So when it goes to sleep i can't wake it via the network. So I switched back to the on board NIC. You might be on to something eith with the NIC drivers i believe mine is realtek too. I really only use this pc as my Plex server and it used to work beautifully when it went to sleep if I launched Plex from anywhere it would wake the computer and I haven't had that capability for a long time now
Realtek are actually very common so I don't know if it just being Realtek would be enough to convince me. My ethernet driver is completely uninstalled now though so I'm not sure if that could be the cause, but the problem did stop for a while when I uninstalled it first.
I also sometimes get this wake:
Instance Path: PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_1483&SUBSYS_87C01043&REV_00\3&11583659&0&0A
..which seems to be a RAID driver, and I don't even have any RAID set up, or drivers for it, installed.
It just seems like my PC is determined to not go to sleep!
It almost seems, at least for me, that it happens for a while, a few days or weeks, then it's fine for a few weeks, then starts waking up by itself again.
I think it's probably a Microsoft problem, but none of the Microsoft people seem to know how to do anything other than to tell people to run SFC, or create a new user account.
I think half the problem is that there's so many different things that could cause this, and for a lot of people simply disabling wake timers, or preventing the NIC from waking the computer will fix the problem. But for some people it's something buried deep in windows.
