Thanks for the fast answer, but unfortunately that didn't do the trick.

I restarted after applying the changes. Then I turned the PC in sleep, and after a few seconds it restarted again.

powercfg -lastwakr gives the same results as before.

But thanks

Hi,
Please check for BIOS updates. Check system journal (Event Viewer) for wake up reasons.

The BIOS is alredy with the lastest release (from just a few weeks ago), and the Event Viewer gives me the same information as powercfg -lastwake

But thanks for the reply

Seems you need to ask a help from ASUS support. This is their responsibility area. Power button signals are processed by BIOS.

Windows reports that is the power button what wakes the PC, but that makes no sense, there is no possible false push, or the BIOS misundestanding something, is very strange. With ubuntu or debian (just with Windows), this does not happend at all, so, I'm directly accusing windows the responsible for this issue.

I'm not really surprised, Windows is buggy in general, What happend after NT 4.0? Was the most stable version I'd never seen, but after that, everything goes downhill! Is very annoying that a lot of features are buried down in a now dying control panel that no body appears to understand how the heck it works internally inhereited from Windows 7. If no body understands that features, how I'm expecting to be fixed? This has to change.

Is very sad.

Yes, likely BIOS misinterpret something. I've seen such behaviour of some ASUS motherboards.
Linux works slightly different then Windows so direct comparison may be incorrect.

I tried hibernation mode. I'm informed that the only way of waking a PC from hibernation is by the power button.

The PC was in hibernation mode at 0:56 am, and it woke it self up in the middle of the night by itself. Windows log tells me it was at 1:28 am.

Reason: Litterally unknown.

powercfg -lastwake:

Recuento de historial de activación - 1

Historial de activación [0]

  Recuento de origen de activación - 0

What I have to do? Change my motherboard to an MSI or something like that?

I have not seen any option in my BIOS related to the power buttons, or WOL, the BIOS is apparently oriented just for gaming and overclocking, but I need those options, but the motherboards that has AM4 sockets are the majority for gaming.

Thanks Igor for pointing a BIOS issue, and I understand that Linux kernel has nothing to do with Windows kernel, but the thing is that I haven't seen any issue in one, and a lot on the other.

Have a great day.

You may try:
- re-flash BIOS, may be some memory cells lose the data,
- carefully look at BIOS settings and disable all wake up related,
- and yes yo may change motherboard if it is not expensive for you.
