Very odd this one, I was using the Win10 no problems for a few days until yesterday when trying to shut-down the system. After 10-30 seconds, it powered back on. This wasn't like a restart.

After checking the power buttons where configured correctly i checked the power management for each device, in particular HID compliant devices but it was the network adaptor that seemed to be causing the problem.

Right click on network adapter> power management > untick "allow this device to wake up the computer". Whilst I was there, i also unticked the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".


I can only assume that updates are making a request to wakeup from LAN.

Anyway, it's sorted but thought i'd share just in case anyone else has the same issue.
 
Yeah I had same issue last week when I noticed my PC woke up from standby when I was slept.

I ran command prompt admin powercfg /lastwake confirmed it was my LAN card woke up.
