You can override a system, display, or awaymode request issued by any process, driver, or service in windows 7.Īssume that uTorrent itself was indicated as the process that last woke your OS. You should see "Realtek High Definition Audio" listed under Īt this point an exception is registered for your realtek driver and should thus prevent any sleep related issues.įor those who face a similar issue, but have a different powercfg -lastwake or powercfg /requests response this command can be modified and may help you. Powercfg -requestsoverride "DRIVER" "Realtek High Definition Audio" "System" If you open the command prompt and issue the following command: I do not know how to stop uTorrent from doing this as it sounds more like a bug to me then anything, but you should be able to ignore your Realtek driver when your computer attempts to sleep. It sounds to me that uTorrent is opening an audio stream and then failing to release it and or keeping it open. One of this (as you can see in the screenshot) is Standby when Downloads Complete, which you might find very useful and secure. ΜTorrent has a feature to automagically do actions when all downloads (or downloads/uploads) are finished. If you are going to suspend after you finish, why not let µTorrent to do so? WARNING: This could provoke that your torrents/data gets corrupted, so it's better to wait until µTorrent finish up. You can disable this option going to Preferences > Advanced > bt.graceful_shutdown and set it to false. Meaning, that µTorrent hasn't ended writing up all the data to the disk (they are still in the Windows cache) and since you have a Laptop with slower Hard Disk, this could take a while. Graceful shutdown is for when torrents take too long to write, normally µT will close in 10 seconds, with graceful shutdown, it wont close until all the data is saved.

This is an expected default behavior, since µTorrent has the bt.graceful_shutdown option activated by default. From your comments, it seems that µTorrent has not fully closed when you try to suspend.
