    "Power Button" wakes PC from sleep...or does it?


    I have this recurring problem:

    About 4 weeks ago my desktop PC would wake up immediately after i set it to sleep.
    powercfg -lastwake query in cmd prompt returned: Type: Fixed feature, Power Button

    I googled this problem and also searched here on the forums and some people seem to be able to fix it by disabling wake timers in power managment - this did not work for me.

    What worked for me was disabling "wake on pattern match" for the network adapter in device manager.
    After that, the PC would stay asleep until i woke it with either mouse or keyboard.
    To test this, i re-enabled "wake on pattern match" , to see if it would prevent the PC from staying asleep, but weirdly enough the PC would stay asleep, until i wake it up by keyboard/mouse. So i left the "wake on pattern match" enabled.
    Now after about 4 weeks the problem is back.

    Normally i would be happy to prevent my network adapter to wake the PC, as i don't really use that feature but i am worried that something else is wrong, e.g. a faulty power button. My PC is relatively new and still under warranty so i could get the button fixed if it's broken.

    Since disabling "wake on pattern" seems to "solve" the problem, it does not seem to be a problem with my Power Button.
    But why would powercfg -lastwake indicate that Power Button is waking up my PC then?

    :)

    I tried everything that I saw in similar post all over the forums.
    1. All the drivers updated
    2. Turn of all wake timers and allow device to wake up the computer from mouse, keyboard, Realtek PCIe Controller, Wireless AC.
    3. Turn "wake computer" from UpdateOrchestrator in Task Scheduler
    4. Run all the troubleshooters from windows
    5. Reinstalled Windows latest build
    6. Tried on older Windows build

    Has anyone can suggest anything else ?
    It drives me crazy , its suddenly happened and now a can't find any solution
