Either there is a list or the word 'None' displayed, otherwise the command was not typed correctly.

After your PC wakes from sleep again, type this into command prompt and press Enter: powercfg -lastwake
What's the result?

Does the action need to be completed immediately after the machine wakes? I tried it now, hi the enter button and the window blinks and is gone.

No, it doesn't have to but it will be best since we want to see what is waking up the PC.

Hit the Windows key + R on the keyboard.
Type CMD and hit the Enter key
On the Command prompt window type: powercfg -lastwake then hit Enter.

You need to try 'powercfg - lastwake' and also 'powercfg -devicewake wake_armed' in Command prompt to find out what is waking up your system.
Also check the task manager for running apps, it could be a program waking up the PC

 

[cryhavoc517]

Task Manager say Malware Bytes & browser are the only program running.

powercfg -lastwake >>>>> wake history 0

powercfg -devicewake wake_armed' >>>>Invalid parameters
try /?/ for help

Sorry....wrong command
Try this one: POWERCFG -DEVICEQUERY wake_armed
Stop Malwarebytes from running and other unnecessary background processes.

There is a list of hardware that are able to wake your system.
You could go to Power management in Device manager and uncheck 'Allow this device to wake your computer.
Also updating these devices drivers might help.

Reviewed some forums on the subject and they had the same advise. Evidently this is a long standing problyem with Windows 10.

...and Windows 8, 7, Vista.

My nephew just told me, he was having the same issue with Logitech keyboard and mouse combo after a Windows update. He tried several Logitech software versions until one worked.
