Sleep blocked by "active remote client"
Sleep blocked by "active remote client"
- Using powercfg -requests I get:
[DRIVER] Filesystem\srvnet
An active remote client has recently sent requests to this machine
This blocks sleep mode (a "feature" of sleep mode).
I have tried disabling wake for sleep on adaptors. Disabling home group. disabling media center, unistalling windows media, disable auto update, no media sharing....
Because there is a long timeout of maybe 15 minutes or longer on this it so it is hard to diagnose if it is coming from the local machine or the other Win 7 on the network. The problem seemed to start when I upgrade the second machine from Vista though not 100% sure.
Seems like each machine keeps the other awake? I have also suspected the Dlink router and turned all of its "added value" features off. Where is this "remote client" and how to diagnose?
Is there a setting to at least turn the time out to a minute or less?
One machine runnning Win 7 7600 64 before and after this problem started. The other was Vista and now Win 7 7600 32 since the problem began in BOTH machines.

- Hi Girvan,
Mostly this issue is caused by network adapter driver. Could you please download and install the latest network adapter driver to test the isue?
In addtion, if you disable network adapter on the computer, does Sleep work normal?
