    Swapped an Intel 7260 into my Y510P, now it won't sleep. Ideas?

    Tired of the Intel Centrino 2230's poor performance, I decided to upgrade. I followed the standard procedure of flashing the modified BIOS with the whitelist removed, swapped the cards, and booted up. No issues encountered and my wifi connection was much more stable and faster. Great, right? Yes! That is... until I tried to put my laptop to sleep later that night. Right after it gets to sleep, it wakes right back up.

    I've done a good bit of research and it seems that other people who performed the same upgrade are suffering from it as well. I've attempted all of the "fixes" I've seen but nothing has help. So, I'm turning to you more experienced people! To make it a bit easier, I'll include the results from some testing that I've seen suggested already.

    BIOS version: 1.09

    Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260
    Model: 7260HMW
    Driver version: 16.10.0.5
    Bluetooth driver version: 3.1.1311.400

    Someone suggested using this command to see if there was anything "weird". Doesn't look so.
    Code:
    C:\>powercfg requests
    DISPLAY:
    None.
    
    SYSTEM:
    None.
    
    AWAYMODE:
    None.
    
    EXECUTION:
    None.
    
    PERFBOOST:
    None.
    Someone suggested removing all other devices that can wake the system so I can rule them out in my tests.
    Code:
    C:\>powercfg /devicequery wake_armed
    HID Keyboard Device
    Someone suggested that this command may show what device caused the wake. Unfortunately, it didn't.
    Code:
    C:\>powercfg /lastwake
    Wake History Count - 1
    Wake History [0]
      Wake Source Count - 0
    Event viewer right after sleep attempted.

    Code:

    The system is entering sleep.
    
    Sleep Reason: Application API
    Sorry for such a long, boring post but I figured that I'd try to provide as much info as possible. Any other tests I should run? I'd love to be able to sleep my laptop again...

    There should be a way under power options to not let the wireless card wake the computer. Check that and make sure that it's set that way.

    Sure, why not? I'll do that when I get home.

    There is an option for that in Device Manager and I already made sure it was disabled. Also went through Power Options looking for anything else related to sleep.
