Norton users have this running in task scheduler every 30 minutes and it's set to wake-up the computer, it's used to check for Windows 10 migration and to immediately download the 10 version of it's antimalware so as to not leave the user exposed.
If you have no intention of upgrading to 10 you can remove it, read this forum post, there is a tool linked in the thread that will remove it.
Norton Security Suite Upgrade - New Remediation Task Wakes Computer
I had the wake-up ghost and the tool worked.
Thanks for that tip- I hadn’t even a clue that could track down the issue-
says usb\root_hub\ then some figures after that
Looks like usb is causing the issue - could it be the new printer causing it as the printer is usb?
Just the tower wakes up briefly- monitor is still in sleep mode- it lasts about 5 minutes, then tower shuts down again
I guess what I’m gonna have to do is do a revert to before I installed the printer, unplug it, and see if it continues-
The usb\root_hub seems to be related to mouse or keyboard though, but what I don’t understand is that nothing changed on my computer except the install of the printer- I hadn’t done any updates lately, no program installs other than printer- (I’ve gone through it making sure it’s not set to wake computer) and this just started occurring recently-
Do you think it could be a faulty usb socket going bad?
Anyway thanks for the advice to track down what it is- seems others are having same issue online- I’ll see if I can find solution
They suggest turning off keyboard and mouse wake options- but then how do I get computer out of sleep mode? And like I said - it was never an issue before, why now all of a sudden? Makes me think perhaps something is going bad- Mouse is newish, about 6 months old, keyboard is a few years old- botrh still plugged into the same usb ports- that hasn’t changed-
Uggggh! I hate computers lol
srry to keep buggin you but I just thought of something- that command won’t work because I have to wake the computer up manually before running the command
Is there a command to see the last 10 or so wake events?
