Solved PC Wakes Up at Wrong Time

I have a PC that I often put to sleep. The issue I am having is that if any other PC on the network is turned on, it immediately wakes up my PC.

I am guessing, I don't know, that the other PC is looking for machines on the local network and this wakes my PC?

Is there any way to stop this?

That won't cause your PC to wake up.

Execute powercfg /lastwake command to identify the event or device that is responsible for the last waking process. Once the results are shown, check the “Instance Path:” to see where it originated from (the USB or PCI port for instance) and look under “Type:” for the nature of the cause, typically a device or a wake timer.

Execute powercfg /devicedisablewake “Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 1.0 (Microsoft)” command to disable wake for the device.

If above command wont work, head into your device manager by holding down the Windows-key + R and enter “devmgmt.msc”. In the device manager, search for the the device in question, right-click it and select “Properties”. Then simply switch to the “Power Management” tab and uncheck the box for “Allow this device to wake the computer”.

I'd wonder if the BIOS has a setting for Wake on LAN that is Enabled.

Go to device manager. Expand Network Adapters. On both your ethernet and wireless adapters, RIGHT click and select 'properties'.
Under power management tab, UNCHECK 'allow this device to wake computer'.
