What the fuck? Why is my PC waking up when it's on battery?

@LukeAlmighty Honestly I don't think it's windows. I think the usb from the ups is waking it up.

@matrix you probably have a thing that wakes PC up on any device activity, which probably includes UPS

@hj I do have wake up with mouse and keyboard turned on so I'm guessing it's that.

@matrix i know on windows there's also network wakeup which by default for whatever idiotic reason wakes computer up on ANY network activity, not just magic WoL packet.

@hj I do have network wake up on too, but everything wakes up and goes to sleep just like it should normally. Only now that the UPS is running on battery my PC is waking up immediately after going to sleep. I had to turn it off normally to make it stop.

@matrix maybe check event log or whatever it's called on windows, it's been a while since i used it, it probably should have log entry for wakeup and reason for it.
@matrix @matrix Windows got rid of S3 sleep and it's been having problems
