  1. Computer turns itself on in the middle of the night after total shutdown


    For some time now, my computer will randomly power on in the middle of the night after a complete shutdown. I use the shutdown option from the start menu, and it is set to power off with that button in power settings.I've checked wake-on-lan settings for keyboard and mouse as well, even though that shouldn't be the issue. Fast startup is also disabled.Also, powercfg -lastwake always returns 0. I also used powercfg -devicequery wake_armed to remove any permissions for devices that could wake the computer. My understanding is that this is for sleep/hibernation, but I figured I'd try it anywa

  2. Laptop turning on in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

    hi, yesterday i woke up in the middle of the night and decided to turn over on to my other side, but then i noticed my laptop had just started turning itself on. I'm very sure I put it into shutdown that evening. and my monitor was turned off too. It didn't
    connect to the monitor by itself, so it displayed everything on the actual laptop screen. It turned on in the normal way:

    -black background, white circle with text in the middle

    -lock screen/sign in screen

    -no error messages

    I didn't know why it was doing this but was sleepy so just shut it down, and went back to sleep.

    Can someone help me?

  3. Computer turning on in the middle of the night

    My computer is randomly turning on at night, somewhere around 3-5 am. I know it does this when updating and also going into a mode where it looks like it's shut down and you have to press the power button to turn it on but it's actually just asleep. (No idea what that's called.) This usually takes around a minute or two. However, I have noticed that it also does this the (extremely early) morning after I download a new game. With this one, it takes around 5-7 minutes to turn back off. I don't think it's the sleep thing mentioned earlier because I always leave Chrome and Steam open but everything is closed (like a restart/shutdown), but I also don't think that this is a restart because I don't hear either of the startup sounds and the power light on the side of my laptop is blinking (like sleep mode). This is pretty weird and although I mostly just want to know what this is, learning how to make it stop would probably be helpful. Thanks!

    Also, I would have put the stuff about what version of Windows 10 I'm using and that stuff, but I don't know how to check. Sorry!

    How to stop boots in the middle of the night

    For sometime, when I power down my computer it restarts itself later or in the middle of the night. How do I stop this? Using WIN10 Pro Version 20H2.

    P.S. Computer is not sleeping or hibernating.
