DaveM Independent Advisor. Hi Milutin You are correct, this problem is most always caused by the 'Wake on LAN' setting, can you please check that again. How satisfied are you with this reply? In reply to DaveM's post on February 12, If someone else has a different idea, feel free to post it.

Thanks, Dave! Hi Milutin Okay, please let me know how you get on. I'm sad to say that it didn't work Question is still open. Also go to your mouse's settings and uncheck "Allow this device to wake the computer".

Go to Task schedules by using run window on taskschd. Based on the last point, there are couple of possible scenarios. Known Limitations TurnedOnTimesView based on a few types of events on the event log of Windows to detect when the computer was turned off and on. It generally works quite well, but it's still possible that you'll get a false positive, which means that TurnedOnTimesView will show that the computer was turned off and on, even when the computer was not actually turned off.

When the computer is turned off improperly For example, on a power outage , TurnedOnTimesView will not be able to detect the shutdown time, and the icon of this item will be red instead of green. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. Versions History Version 1. Version 1. You should try this option if you have the latest updates of Windows 10 and TurnedOnTimesView stopped working.

Added 'Computer Name' column. This column is useful when there is no shutdown event and the 'Shutdown Time' column is empty. When there is no shutdown event 'Shutdown Time' is empty , the duration is now calculated according to the 'Last System Event Time'. When event 41 from Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power is detected 'The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first' , the 'Shutdown Type' column now displays 'Unexpected Shutdown'.

The event viewer is handled by the eventlog service that cannot be stopped or disabled manually, as it is a Windows core service. The event viewer also logs the startup and shutdown history of the eventlog service. You can make use of those times to get an idea of when your computer was started or shut down.

The eventlog service events are logged with two event codes. The event ID indicates that the eventlog service was started, and the event ID indicates that the eventlog services were stopped.

In the middle pane, you will get a list of events that occurred while Windows was running. Our concern is to see only three events. If your event log is huge, then the sorting will not work. You can also create a filter from the actions pane on the right side. You can also specify the time period under Logged. If you want to investigate the Event log further, you can go through the Event ID , which will display the uptime of the computer, and Event ID indicates the processor information detected during boot time.

Event ID will let you know that the system started after it was not shut down properly. You can also set up custom Event Viewer views to just view this information in the future. This saves you time, and you can set up custom views for the specific events you want to see. You can set up multiple Event Viewer views based on your needs, not just the startup and shutdown history. TurnedOnTimesView is a simple, portable tool for analyzing the event log for startup and shutdown history.

The utility can be used to view the list of shutdown and startup times of local computers or any remote computer connected to the network. Since it is a portable tool, you will only need to unzip and execute the TurnedOnTimesView. It will immediately list the startup time, shutdown time, duration of uptime between each startup and shutdown, shutdown reason, and shutdown code. Shutdown reason is usually associated with Windows Server machines where we have to give a reason if we are shutting down the server.
