I'm curious, is your issue resolved ?
I'm curious, is your issue resolved ?
I know this old but I just had to fix this issue myself. Just in case this happens to anyone else....my machine was upgraded from Win7 to Win10. For the longest time I couldn't figure out what was causing it. Someone suggested running powercfg /lastwake. Well, that was useless information. Then I checked out all switches for powercfg and immediately nailed what was doing it:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg /waketimers
Timer set by [SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Windows\System32\svchost.exe (SystemEventsBroker) expires at 10:18:36 AM on 5/18/2016.
Reason: Windows will execute 'NT TASK\Microsoft\Windows\Media Center\mcupdate_scheduled' scheduled task that requested waking the computer.
Deleted that ******* and now all is well! It was a useless task anyway. It would wake the machine then failed to run because it couldn't find xxxxx file.
I know this is really old, but I wanted to give a solution to anyone still struggling with this problem. Here's the one that worked for me. I found it from a Microsoft forum:
"If there are no tasks running that makes the computer resume from Sleep mode, it is possible that the computer is switched ON due to the network connection. There is an option which if selected, allows the Network adapter to wake your computer if it receives any new communications. So, if this option is selected, your PC might resume from sleep mode every time it receives a new update for any apps or any other application connected to Internet.
You can refer these steps to check and disable if this option is selected:
a) Press Windows key + X, select Device manager
b) Locate Network adapter and expand it to find the Network adapter installed in your PC
c) Right click the Network adapter and select properties
d) In the power management tab, uncheck the box against “Allow this device to Wake the computer”.
e) Click OK to save changes."

Afterwards, I let the PC enter hibernate mode without moving mouse or keyboard, waited for 5 - 15 minutes, noticed that it is still in hibernate and hasn't woken up on its own.
Saving energy can be addictive and this hibernation problem kept nagging me over real work, lol. Hope that helps one of you!
