Laptop turns on by itself at night on Windows PC

My laptop consistently turns on by itself at night, even when fully shut down, and I wake up to find it running with the screen on. This happens randomly around 2-3 AM, and I have already disabled all wake timers and scheduled tasks without any success.

    Even if you've disabled some, double-check the Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc). Look for tasks with a trigger around 2-3 AM.
