Built a gaming PC back in 2018 (windows 10, GTX1080, i7, eset security).

For the past year or so it wakes up every now and then and for a few months it started waking up to my logged in desktop screen. Hasnt happened for about a month or so but it still eakes up even with my mouse and keyboard disconnected. I don't do any tormenting or anything sketchy. It's a really clean machine built for gaming, YouTube, office work stuff. I don't visit any "low brow" sites (that's what my tablet (not connected to the PC) is for). It didn't start happening after any specific download that I can remember.

Anyway, I can't find anything relevant online that helps me so I figured I'd ask here if anyone knows what this is about.

I had a similar problem. Tried a bunch of resolutions, fixes, or configs and none of them worked. Just bothered by it one day where I had just put the box to sleep and I just barely nudged my desk, wireless mouse lights up because it detected movement, box wakes up. My overly sensitive mouse was picking up shaking and waking up the computer because of the mouse input.

I figured that was the case so I turned my mouse off and unplugged my keyboard because cat and it still happened.
