Allow Wake Timers
Can anyone explain, in layman's terms, what function "Allow Wake Timers" provides? I had to disable that because my computer kept waking up after I put it to sleep.ThanksMark

It's the ability for your PC to be brought out of sleep at a specific time. Say for example you wanted to backup your system at 1am every day but didn't want to leave your machine on all night - the wake timer would wake your PC up ready for the scheduled backup to take place. The power management options you have set may then allow it to go back to sleep until you're ready to use the PC again.

Thanks. I'll have to see if I can find a way to utilize that feature.Mark
