this is what I did:

In regedit, navigate to...

HKLM--> System--> ControlSet001--> Control--> Power--> PowerSettings--> 238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F20--> BD3B718A-0680-4D9D-8AB2-E1D2B4AC806D

(easiest way to get there is probably to just search for "BD3B718A-0680-4D9D-8AB2-E1D2B4AC806D")

in that main folder, I set Attributes to 0

opening the tree for that main folder, you'll find the subfolders "0", "1", and "DefaultPowerSchemeValues". this folder also has subfolders. open the tree to reveal them. there will be 3 additional folders. maybe more, depending on how many power schemes you have set up on your machine.

In each subfolder, you'll find "ACSettingIndex" and "DCSettingIndex". for no wake when on battery power, change the value for DCSettingIndex to 0 in each folder.

setting it to 0 in each folder ensures that no matter what power profile you're using the machine RTC will be disabled.

If you want to also apply this to AC power (plugged into wall), just reset ACSettingIndex to 0 in all the same folders you changed the DC values in.
