    I was saying that my theory is that this functionality is broken or being bypassed on Windows such that when it gets hit by for instance the Network Discovery or “Do you have this update already downloaded?” ping from another Windows computer it wakes up to have a chat. I meant other systems are looking for active machines and those pings are waking it up or keeping it from going to sleep. I may have chosen a bad slang since ‘ping’ is a net command.

    This theory is based on my understanding that computers don’t go all the way to sleep anymore and reenabling S3 restores normal sleeping. I included WoL because I have a machine that doesn’t have the S3 option but disabling WoL seemed to help on that one.

      yeah, now that you say that is probably most laptops in the last few years. but I don’t think desktops do it. wrong, even my 4+ years old pc motherboard supports it according to /sys/power/mem_sleep
