Windows 10 Desktop wakes from sleep to hibernate even when disabled

I have been seeing the same thing happen in the middle of the night. I'm asleep and all of a sudden the room is lit and my laptop is awake. I got to this page because of the same message in the Event Viewer: "S4 Doze to Hibernate".

The answer provided here, suggesting to take a look at AMD drivers, didn't help me since I'm not running any AMD hardware. Another website provided me with the answer and I thought it might be useful to share the solution here as well.

Follow these steps and change the values for both 'Battery' and 'Plugged in' to never (0). Don't forget to apply the same changes to the power plans that are not active.

Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options -> Change plan settings -> Change advanced power settings -> Sleep -> Hibernate after -> Setting:Never

This solved the problem for me.

I believe I've found the answer to this particular problem thanks to this page.

The problem was caused by the service AdaptiveSleepServices which was included in some update to AMD drivers. I have disabled the service and switched it to not automatically start as per the page's suggestion and this seems to have fixed the problem (my computer hasn't woken up to hibernate, and it should have done by now.)

It's worth noting that, though this service is from AMD, I've switched my graphics card to an nVidia one so have no AMD hardware running any more and have completely deleted AMD drivers using Driver Sweeper. This did not get rid of the service.

Why on earth AMD includes this trash in its drivers when there is a perfectly serviceable API for performing the same function is, unfortunately, plainly obvious: incompetence.
