How I can find why my windows is wake up?

There are several ways to find out why your Windows computer is waking up from sleep or hibernate mode. Here are some steps you can try:

  1. Check the Event Viewer: Open the Event Viewer by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Event Viewer” from the menu. In the Event Viewer, expand “Windows Logs” and select “System”. Look for events with the source “Power-Troubleshooter” or “Power”. These events will indicate why your computer woke up.
  2. Use the Command Prompt: Open the Command Prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command Prompt” from the menu. Type the following command: “powercfg -lastwake”. This will show you the device or application that woke up your computer.
  3. Check Scheduled Tasks: Open the Task Scheduler by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Task Scheduler” from the menu. Expand “Task Scheduler Library” and select “Microsoft”. Look for tasks that are set to wake up your computer and disable them if necessary.
  4. Check Wake Timers: Open the Command Prompt as described in step 2 and type the following command: “powercfg -waketimers”. This will show you any active wake timers that may be responsible for waking up your computer.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify why your Windows computer is waking up and take the necessary steps to prevent it from happening in the future
