Windows 10 Unrecognized Users on Wi-Fi: Concerns About Security and Laptop Waking Issues

When I click on "Internet Access" Icon on the taskbar, I see a list of user names that I do not know. Does this mean these users are getting a free ride on my wifi?
Also I find my laptop wakes up from sleep on its own and I wonder if its related to this issue?

Those are not usernames. They are SSIDs of other people's wireless networks

Those are not User of your connection, It means that wifi or hotspot is available near you

It means that that wi-fi is nearby your laptop.
No need to worry about that.
You can't connect to them until you have the password.
