Windows 10: External USB hard disk keep waking up since upgrading to windows 10

Hi,
I have an external hard disk connected via USB. The disk has a built in feature that put it to sleep after 10 minutes if it was not accessed.
While I was using windows 7, the only times the disk was waking up were when I was accessing it, however since I've upgraded to windows 10, the disk keeps waking up many times a day either while I'm using the computer or away from it.

Is there a way to know what is waking up the disk?
Are there any services or scheduled tasks I should disable to avoid waking it up?

I'm using Windows 10 Pro 1909

Thanks.

:)
