Windows 10: Asus notebook stopped waking up few days ago, have to hard reset

Simply, it used to wake up, I mean the screen stays black now.
powercfg /devicequery wake_armed returns NONE

Following their advice, there is no power control settings listed for keyboard, nor is there any change settings showing in device manager. And they dont describe "method 1", he just says follow it. Since it used to work fine, I suppose a windows update broke something. I am running latest windows 10

• Press Windows key + X, select Control panel.

Can't stop machine waking itself from hibernation


My desktop machine keeps waking itself up from hibernation, usually during the night, despite my having taken all reasonable steps to stop it. I have:

• disabled waking on network, mouse and RTC in BIOS setup
• disabled wake on mouse and network in device manager (and checked with powercfg -devicequery wake_armed)
• disabled "allow wake timers" for all power plans

It doesn't however wake itself up from S5 (shutdown). I also tried leaving it in S3 sleep for over 24 hours and it didn't wake up, although that's not long enough to be certain that it never would.

Unfortunately my records in Event Viewer only go back a bit over a week to my upgrade to Windows 10, but I did notice a pattern in the first few days of waking at around 00:17 or 00:18 in the morning. Event Viewer suggested that this was due to mcupdate_scheduler, which was scheduled to run at 00:19, so I changed the trigger (following some instructions from Microsoft), but the next night the machine woke earlier, at 23:45. Unfortunately event viewer had no idea what caused that particular event. And today I have just run powercfg -waketimer and apparently there is a task \blah\blah\updateorchestrator\reboot which requires waking the machine just after 02:00 tomorrow morning. Clearly trying to change each individual trigger is a hopeless game of whack-a-mole which will sooner or later result in my wrecking something. How on earth can I stop my machine waking up?
