Computer(s) keep waking up from sleep

   So my computer has been waking up from sleep since i got it and here are some of the things i have tried :

Stop the mouse from waking up the PC, Stop a network card from waking up the PC

 

I  have also tried looking at the powercfg-lastwake command in command prompt but it doesen't say anything at all.

There is also another computer plugged into the same extension that is starting to have the same problem. Please ask for any other details if you need them

(I am running Win 10 but this has been happening since Win 8.1)

EDIT: I have gone into eventviewer to see what woke the computer up but it says Wake Source: Unknown.

  1. Open the Start menu and type “mouse” (without quotes) in the Search bar
  2. Under the Control Panel list, click “Mouse” (or just press Enter in Vista)
  3. In the dialog box that opens, select the tab “Hardware”
  4. Highlight the entry for your mouse and click the button “Properties”
  5. A new dialog will open. Click the button “Change settings”
  6. In the new dialog that opens, click the tab “Power Management”
  7. Remove the check by “Allow this device to wake the computer”
  8. Click “OK” and close the dialogs.

     

     

        "powercfg –lastwake" type this in CMD to see what causes it to wake

Yea I was going to say that usually my computer wakes up if I have my mouse on a high sensitivity.
