Fing.agent is waking up my system (Win 10) frequently. Is there some way to prevent this?

Advan

I manually put my system to sleep but the logs show Fing.agent is waking it up. How do I stop Fing.agent from waking up my system?

It would be helpful if you include a screenshot of the relevant section of the logfile, also the device that’s being “woken up.”
Fing would normally only wake a device if a manual Wake on Lan command was sent?
@robin have you any ideas/thoughts?

Here is the log of the what is causing my system to wakeup when I want it to remain asleep for security reasons, assuming I understand this process correctly.

I got the same thing happening to me. I see the same results with the cmd command.
I am running fing 2.5.1 premium. On win10 20H2

Hi @USMAGrad @Quinten

We have released a new Fing desktop version 2.6.0. Can you please uninstall this version and download and install the latest version and check if the issue persists?

FAS

I've also got the same problem.  I believe the problem is the HP Print Scan Doctor, not Fing, but I could be wrong.  My Fing version is 3.0.0

Michal_From_Fing

Hello @FAS Could you try and update Fing agent to 3.0.2 and see if the issue persists?
