It is windows, so your deep debug/fix options are limited. I've had some luck with the 'powercfg' commands disabling sleep/wake for some sources.
The other suggestion, wake timers, is probably your problem, since windows wants to stay out of your way, and in their mind that means to wake up at 3am to take updates.. what could go wrong?
It isn't a huge issue but I just wanted make sure it wasn't some weird virus or something that snuck its way in on a mod or something
Is there any risk to messing with the powercfg?
Unlikely a virus, but not impossible. Just more likely to be microsoft up to their normal tricks.
You can certainly make trouble with powercfg, but doing 'powercfg /lastwake' is entirely informational.
