LAPTOP NOT WAKING UP FROM SLEEP UPDATE

In the command prompt, copy or type in 'powercfg -waketimers' and hit enter. Right click on it and say 'Run as administrator'

To find if your computer has any of these in place, go to the search bar at the bottom left corner and search 'Command Prompt'. There are things called Wake Timers that will wake the computer up by itself. I have tried a few more things here to get it to stop waking up by itself. It seems whenever they do an update, they keep doing something where it allows it to wake the computer up on its own.

Update 1-9-18: Windows just did another update and again it woke itself up after putting it in hibernate mode. The computer was also not working very well with the new update so I restored it back to the previous version (1703).

I will have to keep working on it to figure out how to solve this issue. Update: The computer just woke up again from Hibernate. After doing these two things, it has not woken up from Hibernate by itself so things are good for now. Also as suggested by another article, I went to the Device Manager - Network adapters - Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller, then clicked on the Power Management tab and unchecked it where it says 'Allow this device to wake the computer'. I noticed the Adaptive Sleep Service had been activated again so I disabled it once again. It started waking my computer up by itself even when it was in Hibernate. Update 11-5-17: Windows did another big update for the Fall Creators Update 1709 and again it messed up my settings. It still wakes up fairly quickly from Hibernate and so far it has not had any issues like it did in Sleep mode. For now, I have enabled the Hibernate option for shutdown and will use Hibernate instead of Sleep.

Update: It would not allow a rollback to undo the installation of the Creators Update. I may have to try a system restore back to before the Creators Update was installed. It needed a complete unplug from the power supply to boot back up again. Update: The computer has not been shutting down by itself, but once again, there has been an instance where it would not boot up after waking up from sleep. Hopefully this helps if you are having the same issue.
