Hello I just recently started putting my PC to sleep when I out working, But when I come home my PC is back on? What should I be looking at to find whats making it wake up?

Thanks

Possibly a USB device. My game controller seems to wake my pc from sleep. Since unplugging it the other day my pc will sleep properly.

for me most wake problems in the past have been windows update set to auto install or windows media centre downloading channel listings.

Look on event viewer to see what is waking it.

I'm 99% sure that is what you're spose to do.
