if a a task or Windows Update is scheduled for a specific time, it will wake up the computer. best to id the culprit for the wake up. type CMD and rightclick the cmd to select admin rights or elevated command. when the black window opens, enter this command:

powercfg -lastwake

The last device that woke up the system will be shown.
To find out which devices are enabled to wake up the PC, enter this command

powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

These commands are the same in Windows 7 on up through Windows 10.

I'm having the same problem and so far the only solution I have found is manually changing the mouse settings again. I believe it is Windows updates that are making the mouse go back to the wakeup setting.

Sometimes an anti-spyware (or security suite) can cause this--it restores settings at shut down or start up (I don't know which) mistakenly thinking that the changes were caused by malware.

Unless it's a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing that should not be my problem since I am using Microsoft Defender supplied by Windows 10.
