Since I've updated my computer to win 10, it's been waking up in the middle of the night (it's important to note that this DID NOT happen before I updated, in windows 7). I'm not sure at what time it wakes up (as far as I can tell, it varies), but consistently, whenever I get out of bed, it's awake. I've actually researched this pretty extensively, and I've done everything that I know of to try and get it to stop. I disabled waking the computer for all WMC tasks (and looked through the rest of the tasks to see if the culprit was there, which it wasn't), I set the "automatic maintenance" time to noon, and in the device manager, I prevented all of my hardware devices from waking it. At first, the powercfg -lastwake command yielded that my networking adapter had woken the computer, but I disabled that. Now, the computer wakes, and, according to windows, nothing woke it. The command powercfg -waketimers also yields that there are no active wake timers. Below, I'll put the output of various powercfg commands, in the hope that someone will be able to use them.

There are no active wake timers in the system.
