Problem: Windows 10
wakes randomly from hibernate
FIXED
finally after a month I found a fix
edit the registry Key
hkey_local_machine\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon
and modify PowerdownAfterShutdown and change it to 1
This fixed my laptop and for the last 2 days it has not turned on by itself
I think that one of the last 3 updates flipped the PowerdownAfterShutdown to 0
this caused the shutdown to not fully shutdown causing wake timer, task and other timer to wake the laptop
this bug has been around since Vista and also windows 7 where an update change the PowerdownAfterShutdown value
I guess the Microsoft's QC missed this setting
In troubleshooting this bug it apparent that Microsoft needs better tools for troubleshooting power issues including tasks and wake timers
Powercfg doesn't list all the timers where powershell does list different timers
Someone need to look at these tools and make them more better
Make sure to try the other suggestion in this forum it maybe a combination of this fix and the other suggestion
