This happened with the last major update to Windows 10. If you don't want Bing, there are articles online about disabling and/or removing it.

Most likely there is a scheduled task firing on a "Wake Event"

Open Powershell and copy/paste the following and run it
Get-ScheduledTask | ? { $_.Triggers -like "*TaskEventTrigger*" } That will tell you which scheduled tasks trigger from an event.

From there you can look at those scheduled tasks and the Trigger will be like this

A little more complicated Powershell, but this will just tell you which one has the Wake from Sleep Event
Get-ScheduledTask | ? { $_.Triggers -like "*TaskEventTrigger*" } | % { $event = $_; $_.Triggers | % { if($_.SubScription -like "*Power-Trouble*"){$event } } }

@Neemobeer, how can we disable such things? I would appreciate step by step instructions, if more than one step is necessary.

I get no response back from the above command?
