This is the spec of my build (Windows 10):
AMD Ryzen 7 3800X Processor
ASRock B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Seagate Barracuda 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive x2
HP EX920 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB Video Card
Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case
SeaSonic 520 W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

I set the computer to go to sleep after 30 minutes.

If I go to start>power and click sleep, the computer will go off. But the next morning, I will find the computer CPU fan and other fans running.

It seems that it is being waken up in the middle of the night.

Any suggestion?

Got pets?
 
When I had my old system in the kitchen and would put it to sleep, sometimes if I would turn something else on in the kitchen, ie microwave, kettle etc it would wake my pc up because of dodgy house wiring. Could something similar be happening in your situation?

I dig deeper trying to find out what's waking up my computer. Here's what I found in the scheduled task panel and I suspect that some hidden communications is waking up the computer although I had press the moon key to put it to sleep before I go to bed.

I called Nvidia and they help me to do a fresh reinstall without the Geforce Experience. They are very helpful and accessible.

I pressed the moon key before going to bed last night, and this morning the computer was still sleeping.

That seems to solve the problem.

I also delete the MiniTool and AVG virus emergency update.
