So today is a big day. I found the culprit.

My problem for the past few months was that my laptop was waking up over night(with the lid closed),was draining battery, so that in the morning the laptop was dead.
It was my mouse, the Logitech M165 wireless mouse ,that comes with a usb little thing to be able to use it.
I went into mouse settings and set "Allow this device to wake the computer" to off. But it doesn't work. The slightest touch of the mouse and the laptop wakes up.

Open Device Manager, Find your mouse, right click and select properties, then Power Management then untick the "Wake Computer" and apply.

Then it must not be the mouse. After the computer has been woken open a command prompt and type "powercfg lastwake" (without "") and then see what it says.

The one that gave me the most issues was the wake on LAN if you are connected via ethernet cable.

Command Prompt says @:
wake history count -1
wake history [0]
wake source count -0

The laptop is connected to the internet trough WiFi most of the time,I connect the Ethernet cable only when I play FIFA.
It has to be the mouse. I put the laptop to sleep then just moved the mouse and it wakes up instantly.

Seems you might need to do the same with the keyboard settings too?

If you have a wireless keyboard/mouse and there is a USB transmitter attached to your computer, you will also need to disable this option for that device too. It should show up under Keyboards. If nothing else other than HID Keyboard Device shows up, then just disable it for that also.

For anyone that has a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo, according to Logitech, the only way to prevent the mouse from waking up your computer is to disable the wake in power management in both the mouse and the keyboard. That is unfortunate because I for one want to be able to wake up with the keyboard but not the mouse. If anyone has a solution for that, I would be interested in hearing it.
