Windows 10: Why does my computer have insomnia?

Basically, every time I put the computer to sleep mode, it wakes itself up not a minute later. Also does this with hibernate mode, I believe. Not even any updates waiting to install, it just don't wanna sleep.

Insomnia


Computer suffers from insomnia.
Computer (Desktop, Win 10 Pro) will not go to sleep although i did change the settings on the power profiles, used various power profiles, created a new one etc... Also the screen will not suspend ever after the given time of non-use.

The only way to make it go to sleep is via a self created link : %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0.
This works just fine.
But going to sleep when there is no activity... no joy.
Looked through the forums and already tried everything i could find, no joy either.

All idea's welcome...

 

Sleep mode suffers from insomnia

Sleep mode suffers from insomnia.
Please see attached Snippet showing my power options relating to Win 10 sleep.
When I hit the sleep key on the keyboard, or the Power - Sleep from the drop down menu or the same from the desktop, the PC shuts down, the fans stop. 9 times out 10 about 5 seconds later the fans resume and the logon screen appears, activate sleep again and the cycle is repeated.
ANY suggestions what may be causing this, it's driving me bonkers. I've not used Hibernate and that option does not appear on my menus. Don't know if that would help or not. I am not using SSD only SATA drives.
