Windows 10: files being deleted, computer turning on on it's own, etc

for a while now I've noticed after pushing a new update on my computer the computer for the next couple of days will turn on all on it's own a few minutes to several hours later without anyone being near it. This normally happens if I choose the "update and shut down" option when I get ready to turn it off for the night. I've done a full system scan with a few different anti-virus programs and even had the computer disconnected from the internet just in case I had issue with someone gaining access to my system remotely (nothing found) yet it will do so anyways of it's own will. Is this a common issue? if so why the hell does Microsoft even have such a "feature" imbedded into it's operating system?


secondly I've also noticed the computer has a nasty habit of automatically uninstalling and removing legitimate programs from my computer, anything from recent 3rd party applications (i.e. wowmatrix) or even a student version of Microsoft office suite which I will have to go and re-buy as for some reason your servers do not recognize my computer as a valid user of the software anymore even though I have done nothing to change it and the purchased software does NOT have an expiration date on it... mind NOT invading my computer to that degree with your next OS?


honestly Microsoft with each passing year and update I am finding myself more and more turned off to your products. I would gladly go for another OS such as Linux or Unix or some such if they were much more friendly to the gaming community...
