hi,
i've seen (and searched for, and read, and followed) a few other posts on the subject, but as I'm stumped and pretty frustrated, I thought I'd ask in case anyone can help.
my HP Pavilion (Vista Home Pr.) wakes from hibernate, each day, at 6am. i have:
-gone through device manager disabling all devices "wake from sleep"
-checked, checked, and checked again in Task Scheduler to see if anything is scheduled to happen at 6 - it isn't.
-looked in Event Viewer to find the relevant Power Troubleshoot entry, which always says "Wake Source: Unknown" ... see below
-looked at Windows Update, HP Update, Apple Update to see that none are scheduled at this time - they're not.
-checked Disk Defrag, avast Virus Scan, Win Defender to see that none are scheduled to do anything at 6; they're not.
-looked in the bios but failed to find any settings which would make it wake
-spent literally hours looking for info on the web, reading forums, tutorials (yes, including the power one on here) etc
-started to get rather annoyed.
Can anyone help? I am out of ideas. Sometimes I've seen people post "well why not shut down?" and the simple answer is that I don't like waiting 3 minutes for power up, and don't believe it should be impossible to put a computer into hibernate without it waking up!
If there's a log file or anything i can post to help figure out what the problem is, let me know ... otherwise any ideas would be *really* appreciated.
