Windows 10: Screen/display sleep not working

Recent convert from win7pro to win10pro. Display sleep function worked perfectly under win7pro. After conversion to win10pro, display would sleep at designated interval, but then immediately wake up without any mouse/keyboard action. I've been through all the laborious procedures for eliminating wake triggers in device manager. Safe mode, process of elimination eventually traced the wake trigger to the Nvidia display container service, used for the Nvidia Control Panel.


Before I'm told to take this bug to Nvidia, I'll offer the following. The Nvidia Control Panel software version, and associated container service, was the exact version used under win7pro. The win10 conversion did not change/update this application. There is an on-going, nearly 4yr, thread on the Nvidia support site addressing win10 sleep issues associated with Geforce Experience and/or Nvidia Control Panel. It remains unresolved. This bug has occurred with all manner of Nvidia drivers, win10 updates, and so forth. A workaround remains disabling the Nvidia display container service and control panel as I am doing. For Nvidia GPUs it is desirable to use the control panel to adjust/tune graphics parameters.


In my case, nothing registered in the powercfg wake commands do they record display wake triggers?. A powercfg /energy command produced a comprehensive log of computer activity during a sleep/wake interval, but nothing related to display wake was recorded. Similarly, nothing relevant appears on the windows event logs.


So what changed in win10 from win7 that produces this behavior?
