Is my computer being used by outside sources

[photofixations]

I usually run my computer (win 10) so that it automatically goes to sleep mode after 15 minutes of no use. Lately it comes to life all by itself for a while and after a short period goes back to sleep. It repeats this at random intervals. I was wondering if my computer is being used by someone doing denial of service attacks or something like that. Any ideas how to deal with this.

One thing that could be happening is where its located stable as in does it get bumbed or does a fan blow where the mouse is located. I had some weird things with mine it seems my mouse was sensitive and being on a wooden floor where when people walked it sort of vibrated the mouse was sensing this and waking up my system. Not sure this is your issue or not it just reminded me of an issue i had. I ended up turing the sensitivity down some and putting my desk on a rug to absorb some vibration. You could unplug your mouse and see if it still does it if it does its not anything like the issue i had..

I've had Windows 10 do that before when 7 didn't. I turned off wake by mouse and wake on LAN and it stopped.
