I have XPS9100 DELL desktop computer awakes out of the sleep mode without me prompting it.

I have 64 bit OS

Before I go to sleep I put that in sleep mode but in the morning I see its awake and I try every setting possible but could not help

I have tried this command and here is what I got and I am not sure what to do.

C:\Users\NAME>powercfg -lastwake
Wake History Count - 1
Wake History [0]
  Wake Source Count - 1
  Wake Source [0]
    Type: Wake Timer
    Owner: [SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Windows\System32\svchost.exe (wuauserv)
