My Windows 10 keeps waking up. I have tried the "powercfg -lastwake" command and got these results:

Wake History Count - 1

Wake History [0]

  Wake Source Count - 1

  Wake Source [0]

    Type: Device

    Instance Path: PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_84321043&REV_06\4&26f2fc68&0&0020

    Friendly Name: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

    Description: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

    Manufacturer: Realtek

Then I checked my ethernet properties:

So, it is obvious that only a magic packet should wake my PC up. But it seems the OS ignores the settings. What should I do?

    Just to be safe, the alternative for what exactly? I have read the article and it seems to describe how to configure a PC in order to wake up. That's not my issue.

    There is some clarification: I want my PC to wake up from a magic packet only, not from any event. According to the win log, the ethernet controller keeps waking up my PC randomly, while is set up to act differently.
