VBoxSVC.exe wakes up Windows 10 host

[marrak]

I've recently updated Windows 7 to Windows 10 and VirtualBox from 4 to 5.0.2 r102096. When VirtualBox is running and I use hibernate or sleep Windows option, after about one minute Windows starts running...

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

powercfg -lastwake

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

Owner: [PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxSVC.exe

Guest is Linux Debian.
On VirtualBox 4.1.20 I have no problem, it works well. I didn't change any settings (bar change of system )

Thanks for any ideas to fix or disable it.

I am seeing the same behavior but I am still on Windows 7 which tells me it is probably not related to the version of Windows but the version of VirtualBox.

This is really annoying as my laptops awakes in its bad and starts frying its own brain. Any hint on disabling this auto-wake would be appreciated.

These kinds of problems that are reproducible should be reported to bugtracker.
It would also help if you can post the ticket number here so other can see the progress, add information, or see the final results.

I have this problem too. Has it already been logged as a bug?

Created a bug report. It won't let me put a link in my first post, but it's ticket 15307.

If someone has solved this, that would be the place to mention it.

I have been rather annoyed at this issue myself, but it appears to have gone since I set Power Options > Advanced settings > Sleep > Allow wake timers to Disable.

Before that, I used to circumvent the issue by unplugging the power cord to my laptop when I put it to hibernation. Not sure why that actually worked, as the Wake Timers settings was identical for On battery and Plugged in.

SetWaitableTimer is called with last parameter true. The last parameter is whether or not to resume the system. This results exactly in the described behaviour.
