Windows 10: How do I stop my computer from turning itself on daily?

Once, if not more, every single day, my computer will turn itself from Sleep Mode to Active. Why? and how do I stop this? I have gone through my settings and do not see anything indicating an auto-update, nor do I think that would be occuring this often. I use Windows 11 Pro.

How to stop daily security definition daily downloads?

Never had an problem with windows security daily definition until I installed 1809. I still don't as long as they're space out. It when more then one is being applied when computer is turn on that problems occur. Paid the extortion fee of $99 for Windows
10 Pro and set feature to 365 delay and quality to 30 but these have no effect on these daily updates. Set protection off but these have no effect on these daily downloads. Couldn't find anything on the web. Would paying for an upgrade to Enterprise give me
the ability to stop these daily downloads?

I'm assuming you have researched your initial list of parts?

What is your budget?

 

Stopping computer

Hi Jean,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to get clarity on the issue, it would be great if you can reply with the details requested below:

• When you say, “I make the order stop” how are you stopping the programs?
  
• Are you referring to “Restart/Shutdown anyway” option while turning off the computer?
  

You may want to check the settings mentioned below and see if that helps:



Disable Fast Startup:



If Fast Startup is enabled on the computer, I would suggest you to try disabling Fast Startup and check. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type control and click on
   OK.
   
3. Click on Power Options.
   
4. Click on Choose what the power buttons do, and click
   Change settings that are currently unavailable.
   
5. Clear the checkbox for Turn on fast startup.
   
6. Click Save changes
   

Disable Hibernation:



Also, if you have enabled Hibernation, let’s try disabling Hibernation and check:

1. Type command prompt in the search bar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select Run as administrator.
   
3. Now, paste the following command and hit Enter:
   powercfg /hibernate off.
