Windows 10: Surface pro 11 turns on by itself

I cannot put my new Surface Pro 11 into standby mode. Using the power button, it turns back on in less than a minute. I have disabled the sleep "allow auto-wake" timer as suggested in another article which is closed. This is embarrassing during PP presentations when the SP mysteriously wakes and sees me. I love the SP 11 but hate this issue.Thank you

:)
