I have a laptop with Windows 10 installed. I usually put the computer to sleep rather than switching it off.
I have noticed that the laptop may wake up from its sleep and stay awake, so that the battery is drained when I wake up in the morning.
I would like to prevent my laptop to wake up from its sleep. How would I troubleshoot and identify processes that wake it up?
I have followed this procedure but without success. For all intents and purposes, lid open/closed does not change anything.
Thank you very much.

run powercfg -devicequery wake_armed to see which device wakes up the device

Apparently, I had forgotten to disable wake from sleep in one power mode. This is fixed. I ran your command and I received "Mouse" as an output. I unplugged the mouse and ran the command again and received a "None" output. So it looks like the problem is solved. You can post your comment as answer and I will accept it. – user89073 – 2017-11-27T15:49:43.767
@magicandre1981 EDIT: still not solved. Maybe it is a software issue? How would I go about identifying which process is responsible for waking up the computer? – user89073 – 2017-11-28T08:17:12.230
look in eventlog why Windows was resumed. – magicandre1981 – 2017-11-29T15:44:02.760
