The laptop wakes up spontaneously

Laptop Toshiba Satellite with Windows 8.1.
The laptop wakes up spontaneously from hibernation.

do you have some USB device connected to it during hibernation? mainly keyboard or mouse? It could be you have set in BIOS to wake up with USB device so if you touch keyboard or move a mouse (even just a little bit) laptop is going to be turned on

Or Shut Down instead of Hibernate if you consider it a valid option

Thanks for the hints. After I put the laptop in hibernation I leave the office. After one hour or so when I come back the laptop is active, there was nobody there to move the mouse or touch the keyboard. However I will deselect "Allow this device..." and I will let you know if the problem is solved.
Thanks.

check in the bios also if "Wake on lan" is active

DinuA; you promised "and I will let you know if the problem is solved."
is it solved? what was the solution?

The problem is indeed solved. This is how:

I have deselected "Allow this device..."

I switch off the mouse after I click on Hibernate

I close the laptop

Thus the accepted solution is that of Justin F. not that of helpfinder. I don't find the way to correct that error.
