Gotcha. Thanks for taking this trip with me. Have a good one!

Sorry to hear that. Are you running this down out of curiosity or is it a practical problem?

It may be worth checking if the latest driver from Intel for your main NIC has the options. My Realtek NIC ran on Microsoft's generic driver out of the box. Good luck.

SOLVED Given that we're almost 20 messages deep, here's a recap: Suddenly, the PC has started waking up from sleep whenever the TV is turned on. Testing has confirmed that it is the NIC which wakes the PC. Weirdly, even though turning on the TV always wakes up the PC, when the Ethernet cable...

Checked the TV. It has no WOL controls. It's definitely the NIC waking up the PC: - with the Ethernet cable disconnected the PC doesn't wake when the TV is turned on - with the Ethernet cable connected the PC does wake up when the TV is turned on - weirdly, if the Ethernet cable is disconnected...

Unplugging the TV from the PC has no effect, the PC still turns on when the TV is turned on. Disabling CEC similarly had no effect. The PC does share Bluetooth speakers with the TV that cycle when the TV is turned on, but I removed the Bluetooth dongle from the PC (it doesn't have native...

I disabled my mouse waking the PC some time ago, so I could move it aside when the PC is sleeping. There's probably a guide on this site, but here's how to fix your issue. Just press a key on the keyboard to wake your laptop afterwards. Not the space bar, as that can cause apps to launch and...

My PC has started waking up from sleep when my LG CX (WebOS) TV is turned on, which is wired to the PC. This is new behaviour. Previously the TV could be turned on without waking up the PC. No new hardware has been attached to the PC. If I unplug the TV from the PC and turn on the TV the PC...

Thanks. A shortcut in explorer worked but getting the computer name to show automatically in the network menu remains elusive. Gremlins, huh?

I can \\ into a local computer on the (wireless) network -- and none of the Android devices have trouble finding it -- but it doesn't show up in my Windows 11's Explorer's Network tab. Discovery is turned on, on both devices. What might be going on?

I figured it out. The issue is that a program starts when I use [Space] or [Enter] to wake the PC in Windows 11. What happens is that, when: you power down your PC using the Sleep option in the Power Button menu in the Start Menu, the Start Menu remains open on the sleeping desktop, so that...

Didn't work. Tried so far: Reboot Checked Task Manager startup apps Checked startup registry keys Repaired the app

Looking into it. Thanks.

The Microsoft Films & TV app (aka Movies & TV) opens spontaneously (on the Purchased tab) when waking my computer from sleep. I have rebooted, checked the startup apps and looked through registry keys. What is going on?

@glasskuter Thank you. I noticed it, but I wasn't sure whether that is for on-demand/scheduled scanning, or also affects real-time monitoring. You're saying the exclusions affect both? @James You're saying there is no option to disable the real-time scanning for one process other than to...
