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

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?0 -

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?
