    My Surface Pro wakes up other PC on my local network without a reason


    In short: my Surface Pro, whenever I unlock it at home, it wakes my other desktop PC through WOL.

    Don't get me wrong, the feature is cool: whenever I need to access that PC on my local network Windows sends a WOL package if the computer appears to be offline. The problem is that it also happens accidentally, when I just unlock my Surface Pro and without having any windows opened that points at that remote PC.


    On the remote PC I can see in Event Viewer that it was woke up by an "unknown origin". I don't know what to look for on the Surface Pro Event Viewer to understand which process sends the WOL request.


    I'm opened to any ideas here!
    Thanks!

    :)
