My custom-build desktop had an issue with the previous AM4 motherboard I had where if you told Windows to hibernate, the entire machine would shut down as normal, but then a few seconds later it'd wake back up by itself and unhibernate. I had to turn off the PSU power switch during those few moments to keep it in hibernate mode. New mobo and that's gone now. BIOS updates never helped. Really odd.

Probably no help to you now, but if someone has a Windows machine that keeps waking up by itself, you can see what triggered the wake by running

    powercfg /lastwake
in a command window as admin.
True, and that helps if it won't go to sleep. This was some weird bug in either the board or the bios.
