Windows 8.1 Wakes Up Automatically

[Roshen]

I put my pc on sleep. (Win 8.1 Enterprise x64 EULAID:WinBlue_R8_1_ED_E_V_en-us)
And the after about 30mins, it woke up. I put it on sleep, after about 10 mins it woke up again.
Any way to fix it?
-Thanks!

PS: I already tried this link: How-To Geek Link , No luck. Here is the result on "powercfg -lastwake" command.

For Windows 8.1 desktops or All-in-one computers, under Action Center / Automatic Maintenance, the checkbox is automatically enabled for “Allow scheduled maintenance to wake up my computer at the scheduled time”. Also, the power policy / Advanced settings / Sleep / Allow wake timers will default to Enabled for AC power.

If the desktop machine does not have an “ACPI Wake Alarm” device (or if it is disabled in the BIOS), Windows 8 still uses the Real Time Clock (RTC) to program wake events, assuming the power policy / Advanced settings / Sleep / Allow wake timers is Enabled for AC power.

Windows 8 automatically configures a "Regular Maintenance" event in TaskScheduler to run at 3:00 AM every day. After initial installation of Window 8, Windows Update is preconfigured to initiate the regular maintenance task and wake event to ensure that it is run.

NOTE: On mobile computers, if there is no “ACPI Wake Alarm” device detected, Windows 8 disables “allow wake timers” on all in-box power plans, and “Allow scheduled maintenance to wake up my computer at the scheduled time” is not enabled.

Resolution:
To prevent the Regular Maintenance task from waking the machine at 3:00am, go to Action Center / Automatic Maintenance and disable the checkbox for “Allow scheduled maintenance to wake up my computer at the scheduled time”.

Contact your IT department. There's no legal way to get Enterprise editions of 8.1+ without volume licensing, which means you either have an IT department that takes care of it for you or you have pirated software that might have malware that wakes up your system.

Thank you for the reply.
It's not a pirated version. I bought it in a shop and they knew less. I didn't want to confuse everyone with the crap they said. 😀

I got the automatic maintenance by it's neck! Only it was set to 2.00 AM. Thanks to you, I'm now acknowledged of automatic maintenance. But the real issue was a drainboard drivers error.
BTW, thanks again for the effort and the facts!
