laptop wakes up with lid closed

I am running a W10 upgrade of W7 on a Sony Vaio laptop.  I have it set to go to sleep when the lid is closed.  It does, but will randomly wake up (with the lid closed) and run the battery down if I don’t catch it in time.  I typed the following into an elevated command prompt:  powercfg –lastwake.  Here is the result:

Wake History Count – 1

Wake History  [0]

Wake Source Count – 1

Wake Source [0]

Type Wake Timer

Owner[SERVICE]\Device\HarddiskVolume3\Windows\system32\svchost.ex (System Event Broker)

Owner Supplied reason:                          Windows will execute‘NT TASK\microsoft\Windows\mediaCenter\mcupdate_scheduled’ scheduled task that requested waking the computer.

I went into task scheduler>microsoft>windows>media center, and found the box to request computer wake up to be unchecked.  Does anybody know where else I could look to find a fix for this? 

Thank you
