PC refusing to stay asleep

Hello, I have searched endlessly for a solution to this. I upgraded to Windows 10 (64) from Windows 7. A few driver issues but nothing serious, EXCEPT that when I put the computer to sleep at night, it is on in the morning every time. I have tried every
suggestion (disabling kbd command, disabling mouse command, etc). I have tried every cmd that has been posted (btw, none of them work), such as trying to discover the command that is waking the computer. Myself, as well as thousands of others (from the number
of posts) are having this problem. It means that not only does my computer wake, my backup hard drive wakes and runs all night. So now I am unplugging my ext drive, which is a ridiculous option. Does ANYONE have a solution. Come on, Microsoft, it's 2015!!
All we want is a switch that says, "No matter what, I WANT THIS SYSTEM TO STAY ASLEEP until I touch the power key or space bar, or whatever. PLEASE HELP!!

Thx, P.

Computer Won't Stay Asleep

Hi,

Computer won't stay asleep due to countless culprits: an accidental swipe of the mouse, a scheduled system task, and any number of other weird settings that reside in Windows' power options. To fix the issue, you may disable the Ethernet adapter's so that system
may stay asleep. To do so, you may follow the steps below:

1. Open the Windows Device Manager.

2. Click the plus next to Network adapters, then find the Ethernet adapter for your system.

3. Right-click the adapter name and choose Properties.

4. Click the Power Management tab, then clear the checkbox next to Allow this device to wake the computer.

5. Click OK, then restart the computer.

Update us with the result.
