Windows 10: PC Powers Up From Apparent S5 (or G3) Shutdown State

My PC has this issue where it powers up from an apparent S5 or G3 shutdown state precisely at midnight. It does not happen every night, but more often than not. When it powers up this way, the power profile also apparently has no effect. I have it set to sleep after 1 hour of no activity, and it will sleep just fine when manually powered up. But when it powers up on its own, it stays on until I discover it around 4 in the morning.


I have never experienced this before with Windows 10 on other machines.


I fully understand the automatic update process and the reasons for it, and would understand waking up from SLEEP, but not actually powering on after a shutdown. And yes, FASTBOOT is disabled.


Also, there is NO OPTION to disable scheduled maintenance. Only the option to defer updates.


Any suggestions would be very welcome!! Thanks!


Here is a list of things that I have researched and checked or fixed along with my scheduled tasks.

Windows 10 wake on LAN not working from shutdown state

Hi,

The "Wake on LAN" (WOL) feature wakes a computer from a low-power state when a network adapter detects a WOL event. Typically, such an event is a specially constructed Ethernet packet. The default behavior in response to WOL events has changed from Windows
7 to Windows 8 and Windows 10.

Windows 7

In Windows 7, the default shutdown operation puts the system into the classic shutdown state (S5), and all devices are put into the lowest power state (D3). WOL from S5 is not officially supported in Windows 7. However, some network adapters can be left armed
for waking if enough residual power is available. Therefore, waking from S5 is possible on some systems if enough residual power is supplied to the network adapter even though the system is in the S5 state and devices are in D3.

Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10

In Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10, the default shutdown behavior puts the system into the hybrid shutdown state (S4), and all devices are put into D3. WOL from S4 or S5 is unsupported. Network adapters are explicitly not armed for WOL in either S5 or S4 cases
because users expect zero power consumption and battery drain in the shutdown state. This behavior removes the possibility of invalid wake-ups when an explicit shutdown is requested. Therefore, WOL is supported only from sleep (S3) or hibernation (S4) states
in Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10.

In Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10, hybrid shutdown (S4) stops user sessions but lets the contents of kernel sessions be written to the hard disk. This enables faster startups.

To disable the S4 state in Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10, follow these steps.

Note We do not recommend that you disable the hybrid shutdown (S4) state.

1- In Control Panel, open the Power Options item.

2- Click the Choose what the power buttons do link.

3- Clear the Turn on fast startup (recommended) check box.

4- Click Save Settings.

Please let me know, if that helps.

Kind Regards:

Engr. Malik Yasir
