Since disconnecting the KVM and disabling obvious wake devices did not fix it, I would gather one clean sleep trace next. Open Terminal as administrator and run `powercfg /lastwake`, `powercfg /waketimers`, and `powercfg /requests` immediately after the PC wakes itself. Then check Device Manager for the webcam, network adapters, USB controllers, keyboard, and mouse, and clear Allow this device to wake the computer wherever that option is available and not needed. Also review Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options for presence sensing or Windows Hello behavior, because the camera lighting up suggests sign-in hardware may be involved. If the issue started after a specific Windows build, include the powercfg outputs, ASUS firmware level, and monitor/KVM details in Feedback Hub.
