The most important ones are chipset drivers, network, audio, and BIOS drivers. Your first port of call is to check how recent each of your system drivers is. Download the DriverView utility from Nirsoft. Check the version number, installation date, created or modified date, and the digital signature of the drivers. Once you've identified some potential culprits, it's time to update their drivers.
Windows will automatically update your drivers via Windows Update. Choose a driver you want to update. It's the safest method because Microsoft verifies the driver for your system, but if you need reassurance, check the manufacturer's website instead. You can also update your drivers through the Device Manager. Right-click a driver and select Update driver. If Windows 10 doesn't find the drivers, check the driver manufacturer's website.
Most PC manufacturers have a support website that lists all the compatible drivers with the version number. Bookmark the site and check for any driver updates periodically. Never download third-party apps that claim to update drivers. Their sources are questionable and can make your system unstable.

Optionally, you can leave this option enabled and check the option Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer to prevent everything except Wake-On-Lan packets from waking up your PC.
