Anyone whos tried to get windows Vista to sleep knows its almost an impossible task, not only do the devices within your computer have the ability to wake it up, but also the hundreds of wonderful scheduled tasks which are generated automatically upon install (YAY)… well, despite much of my tweaking im yet to come up with a way of stopping my Media Center from waking up every single day at 5PM (even after removing half a dozen scheduled tasks from the media center management console)….
Windows 7 might have a solution for this though, The Windows Help blog points out a hidden command-line switch that generates a report with loads of helpful troubleshooting information. The report lists all of the devices that are causing problems with sleep mode, explains the different power saving modes your computer supports, and even gives you detailed information on your battery—invaluable information when your system takes forever to go in and out of sleep mode. Generating the report is easy enough—just open up a command prompt in administrator mode using the context menu -> Run as Administrator option, and then type in the following:
powercfg -ENERGY
The utility will take a while to generate the report, sometimes more than the 60 seconds it quotes you—but when it finishes you can open up the generated file in your favorite web browser. Once you’ve examined the report, you can attempt to use it to figure out exactly what is waking your PC from its slumber !
Google can reorder search and news results from the last day, week, a few months, or entire year by adding a small string to the end of the search URL. Just add this string—
