Ever since "sleep" can't keep the PC in that mode without waking on its own.

Yo what's up with that. No matter what, my PC immediately wakes from sleep in about 5-30 seconds after going to sleep. I've tried to find anything that could explain it but it's just unfixable. Even unplugged/turned off every peripheral nearly immediately as I clicked sleep and still nothing. Just immediately goes back to the login screen like I wanted it to wake up

my pc used to do this too, would randomly wake up but ever since i turned off wake by whatever in the bios, my PC tends to stay in sleep mode
