Computer Keeps Waking Up

I have just recently built my first computer and all went well except for it keeps randomly waking up from sleep mode. I had tried everything changing all sorts of settings and options and nothing worked. Eventually I gave up and just reinstalled windows. The problem is still here though.
Currently all drivers/BIOS/everything I can think of is updated. In my power plan wake timers are disabled.

This is what last wake cmd shows

C:\Users\Eric>powercfg -lastwake
Wake History Count - 1
Wake History [0]
Wake Source Count - 0


The following pastebin is my event viewer from when I put my computer to sleep(Through the Windows 10 start button) until it wakes up on it's own. Read from bottom to top. There is an error showing when I put it to sleep, not sure if that could be part of the problem. http://pastebin.com/JDtTXKxu

My system specs are http://pastebin.com/F8mPsKTA

And while looking around I've seen that sometimes the BIOS can interfere with sleep settings so my motherboard is ASUS Z170-A with the latest BIOS.

I don't know what to try next so any help would be appreciated!
 
I think it may be the automatic maintenance.
Change your maintenance settings in Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Security and Maintenance > Maintenance
Disable the "allow wakeup"-thing.
:)
 


My maintenance appears to be set to run at 2 AM and the "Allow scheduled maintenance to wake my computer at the scheduled time" was already disabled.
 


I disabled all the ones I could find. I might have missed something though.

This is my motherboard with the latest BIOS from their site.
