Laptop wakes up from sleep for no obvious reason

My laptop keeps waking up from sleep mode randomly, even when the lid is closed and no peripherals are connected. This happens throughout the day and night, draining the battery significantly, and I have already disabled all wake timers and network wake-up settings without any improvement.

    Many newer laptops use Modern Standby (S0 Low Power Idle) instead of the traditional S3 sleep state. This mode allows the laptop to stay connected to the internet and receive updates, emails, and notifications even when "asleep," much like a smartphone.
