Qbittorrent preventing PC from going to sleep

Post by MrCanadian »

Good afternoon,

When running this program, my PC immediately wakes up after being told to go to sleep. When I close down the program, my PC goes to sleep normally.

I've looked through the options and neither of the "inhibit sleep" options are ticked. Is there any recommendation to allow my PC to go to sleep while this program is running so that it auto-resumes downloading etc when I wake my PC up?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

MrC.

Same poblem here. As If the "inhibit system sleep" options were ticked in the settings menu. (Tryed turning them on and of nothing changes.)
It probably wakes the PC through wakeOnLan.

I had forgotten I posted this thread until I received a notification today.

Nevertheless, this is what I did to solve the problem:

1. Go to device manager
2. Find the network adapter (in my case it was the RealTek network adapter)
3. Disallow it permission to wake the computer from sleep

Now qBittorent works perfectly, going to sleep with the rest of the computer, then automatically resuming functionality upon waking.

Hope this helps!

Peace.

The problem is, that's not a real solution. Disallowing your network card to wake the pc disables WakeOnLan functionality (Btw you probably can just disable that feature in your BIOS). That will prevent other normally working apps from waking the PC. This needs a proper fix.
