for the task scheduler, start control panel, search for task scheduler
and look at the log and see if something is running or starting at a predefined time.
I have windows 10 installed and my task scheduler has a task scheduled to run every day at 4:15 pm. It is a User_feed_synchronization task (uploads info to Microsoft for the feedback program)
look for tasks that are running at the time the computer starts up, click the conditions tab and find one
that has "wake the computer to run this task" selected in the power option of the conditions tab for the task.
you can select enable all task history to get it to track and keep a log of what is running or has run.
I think my BIOS also has the option to tell the computer to turn itself on in the morning. I have it turned off in BIOS, I think it was in the power management but I have not looked for it in a long time so I don't remember. (for my system, I just hit the DEL key while booting to get to the settings)
