    Maybe if you start watchdog first option, it will not load all other plugins but keep only the internal one :)
    You can give a try :p

    Added as option 4 to the previous post.

    I'll do this now and report back when I return home again.

    P.S.: I verified the network adapter. Strangely the tick at "Only Magic Packages can wake up this PC" was missing. I had this surely activated. Well, I ticked it again now.

    HTPCSourcer, my gut is telling me that the problems in the latest logs are not from plugins. Of course I could easily be wrong (as I often am! :) ), so you're welcome to try the Watchdog with option 1.

    You mentioned that you only have Windows Defender and that it should be configured correctly. That's fine. I'd still like you to try disabling that temporarily.

    You mentioned that only MediaPortal is installed. I'm confused because the Windows application event log refers to a "LightsOutClient". A quick Internet search tells me that may be used for managing power. I'm very suspicious.

    The system event log also references a "Microsoft-Windows-Power-Troubleshooter" which I also wonder about.

    It happen to me too on windows 10 upgrade (insiders or latest version 1511) :)

    LightsOut is the Service that ensures that the Server is automatically waking up (and going to sleep if not needed). Actually it's part of the Server 2012 connection and automatically pushed to the Client. It is needed to keep the Server alive while the HTPC is on.

    The system event log also references a "Microsoft-Windows-Power-Troubleshooter" which I also wonder about.
    That's a Windows 10 thing. The "Troubleshooter" veriefies a couple of things and even repairs them - it is launched manually and that's what I did yesterday I think. Nothing to be concerned about.

    Alright, this is Option 4: MePo launched in Watchdog / Report a bug modus:

    Behavior is what it should be: upon resume at 20:22 the system is coming immediately up, reacts to key presses and remote and does not appeat to have crashed. After having reset th entwork adapter there is no wrong wake-up between 13.28 and 20:22.

    Can't judge on the different APM messages though. I'll continue with using my Titanius skin and deativated plugins to see if this makes a difference.

    Another scenario: MePo launched in standard mode. PS, Trakt, TVSeries and FanartHandler deactivated

    Normal behavior, no issues. However, I realized that the server has been online all the time, hence the remote shares were available at the time of the resume.

    So the server is not 100% online.
    This mean, if you resume the client, the client wakeup the server and here we can have some issue about db stored on server because plugins directly start to try to reach the db.

    So next test will be to wakeup the server first before the client to see if it's better too :)

    Isn't this what I just reported above? Server was online, then resume of the client.

    Grmpf... , I may as well put everything back on the client.

    Yep :)

    I mean when all is started on client. But before wake up the client, just to be sure that the server is up and running :p
