Windows 10: PC waking up and turning on by himself

Hi people, i am in desperate need of help because im about to smash my way into Windows building and hit someone because this problem is pissing me off for now 3 years

I have a gaming PC with Windows 10 on since May 2017. Since then, i upgraded the PC here-and-there with some QoL improvement. Around may-june 2018, i installed a USB extension Card that came with 4x 3.0 USB plug. Since then, my problem started.

Every time i put my PC to sleep, it would wake up 2-3 seconds later. I found out after many research that, somehow, my microphone, which is plugged into my USB Extension card, is waking up my PC so, since 2018, i just unplugged my microphone, which is weird but i was not making a big deal out of it.

But, i really wanted to fix this problems. So, around July 2019, i made a lot of research and i went through almost everything i can to make sure my PC wont wake himself up by himself. I unchecked everything related to wake timers, Scheduled Tasks, Wake on Lan ETC. I made sure that the ONYL thing that can wake my PC was my keyboard. On CMD in admin mode, i checked :

• powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
• powercfg -lastwake

Both are normal, but there is nothing in lastwake. I finally stumbled accross the mighty UpdateOrchestrator but i dont want to install any 3rd party programm to deactivate this and go in my PC as a superadmin . I know that there is another problem.

But the tip of the iceberg was last night. I was really mad to encounter the same waking-up-by-himself problem, so i just shut down my pc. I clicked shut down, like, closing down completly the PC so i can go to sleep. PC just turned on, by himself, like that. It did it again today as i went through every settings from wake on lan and blablabla.

I am litteraly out of ideas so i need options, i need help.



P.S. : The USB card is this : https://www.rosewill.com/product/ro...rd-with-4-usb-3-0-ports-speed-up-to-5-0-gbps/ Bought it, like i said, around june-july 2018.



Edit : oh, and yes, i went thourgh my BIOS and i cant find anything about WakeOnLan or whatever.
