I hope they implement it better than MS did for Windows 10/11. I recently setup a Windows 11 machine for work and had to enable hibernate specifically because S0 sleep is incapable of staying asleep for more than 30 seconds despite me disabling literally every device from being able to wake it up.
I feel this. Initially I just closed the lid on my work laptop, but I kept waking up to my work monitor just sitting there shining in the middle of the night, because despite having put it in hibernate, it decides to spontaneously wake up and sit at the login screen. Couldn't ever fix that, so now I unplug it when I quit my workday.
I had a series of issues with my old tower that kept waking up and it was very frustrating.
Just curious, did you do a powercfg /lastwake to see what woke it from suspend? For me I think it ended up being a scheduled task, something like Adobe updater, though I don’t remember exactly.
Yeah, that's the frustrating thing. I would run that immediately after watching it wake up and it would gaslight me saying nothing woke it up.
Very frustrating, I remember a similar experience, the command seemed to only show wakes caused by a device like mouse or wake on LAN.
If you still have the machine, check those scheduled tasks (like UpdateOrchestrator tasks) and uncheck "Wake the computer to run this task" in its Conditions tab, or globally disable Wake Timers in Power Options
Had this once, turned out to be some driver update software for a gaming mouse (at least something like that). Sucks for non-technical people that its quite hard to figure out for them without involving the 'family IT guy'
Tbf, these days windows is so obscure, it also sucks for technical people, sometimes it's practically impossible to find where to configure something even if you know it can be configured, even worse if you don't know for sure
