Hi, recently I've been having an issue where whenever I put my computer into sleep mode, it wakes up instantly, I've checked my network adapters in the device managers but there isn't the option for "allow this device to wake the computer" which when I looked online people said to uncheck. So what else could be causing it and how do I fix it?

This occured with my laptop when it was running Windows 10 Tech Preview. Probably faulty drivers. Since you posted this in Windows 7 fourms, I assume you are on 7. Boot your PC and press F2, DEL (varies by vendor) to get into the BIOS. then go searching until you find a wake up LAN option or something to that effect. Is it on? If so, turn it off.
