Description

The program WakeUp, latest version 2.1, is developed by Noël Danjou and belongs to the System Utilities category under the Automation subcategory. It is designed to help users manage and test the features of ACPI computers by providing multiple options for standby and hibernation modes. One standout feature of WakeUp is its ability to manually suspend the system and configure it to launch another application or navigate to a URL. Moreover, it prevents the system from suspending if there are active TCP connections on specified ports.

The program file names include AutoActive.exe, Encender.exe, WakeUp.exe, and wakeupSTD.exe. The software is notably lightweight, with a file size of only 671 KB, making it a minimal resource-consuming application. WakeUp supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11. Other versions available for this program are 2.1, 2.0, and 1.7.

WakeUp automates the hibernation and suspension of your PC, which can be particularly useful if your computer lacks a pre-installed energy or power management scheme. The program provides five main functions:

  1. Activate or deactivate hibernation,
  2. Awaken the computer after a specific time,
  3. Run an application upon reviving the computer,
  4. Suspend the computer at a set time,
  5. Prevent suspension if there is network activity.

In essence, WakeUp enhances the options available for computer suspension, making this feature more useful. It's very easy to use and places minimal demand on system resources.

However, if your laptop or PC already has an energy scheme pre-installed, WakeUp might cause conflicts, potentially leading your system to hibernate at inconvenient times. But for those who are frequently away from their PCs or need to manage power consumption effectively, this tool is an excellent way to keep the system cool and prevent unnecessary hard drive wear.

Pros:

  • Lightweight and easy to use,
  • Extends suspension options for ACPI computers,
  • Prevents system suspension with active TCP connections.

Cons:

  • May conflict with existing pre-installed energy management schemes.

For those interested, a download of the free tool is highly recommended to try its extensive feature set.
