Good morning.
Every night my Windows 10 PC wakes up, and thus wakes me up, at least once. Event Viewer shows the Wake Source as "Device - ACPI Wake Alarm". This despite my best efforts to disable ACPI wake alarms, and the fact that I can't find any active alarms.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Steps taken:
- In Power Management, I have set wake timers to "Disable"
- In Security and Maintenance, I have ensured "Wake computer" is unchecked.
- In Task Scheduler, I have taken ownership of the relevant UpdateOrchestrator tasks, and unchecked "Wake computer".
- I have used Task Scheduler View to check that there are no tasks with "Wake to Run" checked.
- Running "powercfg /waketimers" shows no active waketimers.
- Running "Get-ScheduledTask | where {$_.settings.waketorun}" in Powershell shows two tasks, both in "Disabled" state.
- Running "powercfg /devicequery wake_armed" shows only the mouse and keyboard.
- I have even reinstalled Windows, just in case something weird was up with the old install.
I have referred to the following sources but after trying all the suggestions I am no closer to a solution
