[solved] Machine comes on for 30 seconds every half hour (1 Viewer)

[RobNorthcott]

I've got a freaky problem with my HTPC. For the last few days it's been turning itself on every half hour, whether anything is scheduled to record or not. It stays on for only about 30 seconds then goes back into standby. Has PowerScheduler gone berserk or is it not MP-related? Can the attached logs give anybody a clue?

Unfortunately logs don't show the culprit.
Open a command prompt and try to get some more info on what woke up your system with the commands:
powercfg /lastwake
powercfg /requests

If there's something listed that that woke your pc, you could add it to requestsoverride.

Do you have TeamViewer installed?

I spent some time recently tracking down exactly the same issue, only to find that a very recent version of TeamViewer was creating 'waketimers' for 30 minutes in the future every time the PC woke up (I tracked it down using powercfg -waketimers )

(See http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2744717/teamviewer-computer-randomly-wake-sleep.html for more info on the TeamViewer problem)

Same here Downgraded to latest v9 version which solved the case here, till TV fixes the issue.

Thanks for the replies. I do have TeamViewer on that machine - I'll investigate and let you know the outcome...

Then the powercfg /lastwake probably shows the TeamViewer_Service.exe as culprit

Seems fine without TeamViewer running. Thanks for the hints

Looks like TeamViewer have fixed the problem in the latest release.
