A: When a machine wakes from sleep, an Event Log is written to the System log, Event ID 1, with a source of Power-Troubleshooter, which tells the source of the wake-up.
In the example below, you can see it’s the MED-V Guest Wakeup scheduled task. To stop this wake-up in the future, I would modify this scheduled task to not wake the machine.
