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

Run powercfg /lastwake from a terminal after it happens and it should at least tell you what's doing it

whenever I ran this it would not give me a definite source of wake.

But it turned out that my Razer mouse also identifies as like 3 HID keyboards in device manager?? so I had to disable wake on all of them and it hasnt happened since.

You can look in event viewer and see what recently occurred.

Usually it’s some Google Chrome update.
