Cannot figure out what is now waking computer
This started a few days ago and I can not find the culprit. Monitor will go to sleep, only to wake up at some unknown interval; if I manually put the computer to sleep, such as around 2100 last night, I will find it awake, as I did this morning at 0430.
The other computer was also awake last night, so I put it to sleep; it was asleep at 0430, but awake at 0618; time that it woke up unknown.
Only change made on both computers over past forty-eight or so hours was to enable hibernation, to try to ascertain why APC PowerChute software is not working with Windows 10. Is there any possibility that that could be causing problems? Yes, I know, and shall disable it to test, but want to ask here anyway.
These items pertain only to my computer; I have not looked at anything on my wife's machine:
1. Keyboard and mouse are the only things authorized to wake it.
2. Event viewer shows a wake-time, but does not state what woke the machine.
3. Possibly unrelated, but strange: Task Scheduler/Task Status shows not a single task for the past seven days, but an error message about a selected task no longer exists pops up, and says to refresh; refresh does nothing. The Active Tasks list shows lots of tasks scheduled for today and tomorrow, even a few for later.
I started checking possible wake-up matters around 0445 local this morning, so I may have forgotten to post other things that I may have looked at.
