Wakes up from Sleep all the time

[Jesse Kemmerling]

My windows 8.1 pro 64 bit always wakes up on its own after it has been sleeping for no more than 20 minutes. I have done multiple things to try to prevent it. I have gone into the Bios and disabled everything having to do with waking up the pc from sleep, and even made the RTC disabled in the bios when it was originally on, "Rely on OS." I have gone into the LAN settings and disabled everything to do with waking from Sleep, changed the maintenance setting so it would not wake up the pc, went into the power management settings for the Lan and the Multimedia and made the setting in there so it wouldn't wake from sleep, changed the power plan, and even went into each individual task in the scheduled tasks and set them so the pc won't wake up on its on. Lastly, i have even went into the windows system logs and log said that the last time the pc woke up, it was beacuse of "unknown." Is there anything else i can do?

Sorry for the insanely long question, Jesse.

unplug the ethernet connection and see if it will stay asleep.

if you have a hard wired and wireless ethernet on the same machine you may connect to the same router but on different sides
you can get your hard wired ethernet picking up packets from your wireless ethernet thru the router depending on the routers access point isolation setting.

you can also get other machines talking to your computer asking for the list of machines on the local area network. The machine on the network the longest keeps the list. Xbox can also talk to your machine through media extensions.

so, unplug your net connection and see if it will sleep. At least it will help to isolate the problem to your machine or network. if it is the network you can run network monitor and do a capture and see what is talking to it. (wireless printer connection? via a printer Queue? or shared out from a local port for the network)
