  Modern computers, also on Windows 10, are not really sleeping anymore,
but are partly awake. See 'Modern Standby' [1] (and 'Adaptive hibernate'
[2]).

  You may be able to make the computer less partly awake by disabling
the 'Allow wake timers' settings in the 'Power Options' Control Panel
applet.

  If you respond, please let us know if you have a 'desktop' computer or
a laptop.
