    Can an automatic reboot during non-active hours wake a sleeping device


    Hello everyone!

    The title is meant to be a question, but I ran out of characters.

    Firstly, I'm running both a Windows 10 and a Linux Mint. As per the default settings, if I turn on my laptop and don't touch it, it boots up Linux, I have to interact to boot to Windows. I usually use Windows, though.

    Yesterday, I left home around 4.30 PM, put my laptop to sleep (as the other option was update & shut down, and I didn't feel like doing that). I came home at about 4-5 AM and noticed my laptop was awake (albeit with the screen off), and Linux was up and running. Since nobody at home touched it, the only way this is possible if it woke up from sleep (with Windows running), reboot and automatically boot up Linux. But this still doesn't answer why would this happen.

    So can an automatic reboot to install updates wake up a sleeping device, in order to reboot? If yes, is there any way I can disable it? And if it can't, does anyone have a guess as to why did this happen?

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Windows 10 keeps waking up from sleep in the middle of the night!

    Yes, Microsoft doesnt approve of sleeping PCs. It will wake even with wake timers disabled.

    Even if you find the scheduled job that wakes the PC and tell it not to wake the PC, Microsoft silently re-checks the wake checkbox Can an automatic reboot during non-active hours wake a sleeping device :(

    For now I’ve had some luck by designating my sleeping hours as work time. Windows will wake you from sleep to install updates, but it will not wake up during working hours.

    I've got new surface and can't get windows to stop making me sign in every time I turn it on.

    You can disable password entry requirement after a sleep/wake up of the tablet, but you'll always need a password during a full reboot or shutdown.
