So, I have a Windows 10 PC that, after W10 creators update, started having the following problem:
whenver I put the PC to sleep, the PC goes to sleep and stays sleeping for about 30 seconds... then it wakes up again! If I put it back to sleep after that, there's a 50/50 chance it will wake up again on its own. Once I put it to sleep a third time, it usually stays asleep correctly.
I know problems with sleep are very common with windows (been having them, in one form or another, since the win vista days), but is there any way I can at least diagnose WHAT is causing the interruption of sleep?

Are you moving your mouse? – DavidPostill – 2017-06-14T12:23:42.360
@DavidPostill that question is so bad in many ways, yet it is valid... How weird is that! Though I guess I would rephrase it as: "Is it possible your mouse detects motion and wakes your computer?" – LPChip – 2017-06-14T12:37:46.713
@DavidPostill : I'll tets this for sure in a few hours when I get home, but I'm 99% sure that mouse movement doesn't wake the PC, only clicking it does. But now that you point it out I'm not 100% sure, so I'll get back to you when I test it, thanks for the suggestion. – Master_T – 2017-06-14T12:42:15.187
1@LPChip Agreed. Much better phrasing! – DavidPostill – 2017-06-14T12:42:49.807
Well, turns out that no, mouse has nothing to do with it. Other ideas? – Master_T – 2017-06-14T17:17:05.020
