Windows 10: Power Settings

Is there anything in Windows 10 that would cause my computer to turn itself on? For the third time in the past two weeks I have found my computer on. I can't figure out how or why the computer is turning on by itself. I do have access set to sign in so I don't think a hacker could get in but it is a little disconcerting and I am trying to figure out if it's Windows 10 turning the computer on or perhaps a setting in the mother board bios.
