I remember having problems with Vista and Windows 7 with my PC's standby mode, but somehow figured it out. Now I am on Windows 8, and my PC didn't want to stay sleeping at first. I systematically tested all USB devices, turned off their ability to wake the PC, turned off "timed events" or whatever they are called in the energy settings, made sure that only magic packets could wake up the PC. And it worked. For about 3 months. My PC would go to sleep mode, and only wake up when I clicked a mouse button or my Squeezebox would wake it up with a magic packet.
And now it stopped working. I have not installed anything since except a few games on Steam. No new hardware, nothing. The PC goes to sleep, immediately wakes up again 5 seconds later, and then idles forever at the Windows login screen. None of the restrictive settings have been altered. Plugging off one USB device after another didn't help.
Any ideas? Is there anything like a simple program that just tells me what the fuck keeps waking up the PC?
