PC wakes up in the middle of the night by StartMenuExperienceHost.exe

Hi everyone,

New windows installation, the PC keeps waking in the middle of the night. I have done all the steps needed like disabling wake up timers in power settings, disabling power management on all devices, etc and everything else that there is on the net.

powercfg /wake timers command outputs this:

Timer set by [PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\StartMenuExperienceHost.exe expires at 04:00:00 on .

And i have found zero ways to disable it. There is in another post in this forum that mentions a registry edit on a CSEnable variable but this variable no longer exists on the latest version on windows.

So if anyone has any ideas about this it would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance

Fotis

 

Windows wakes up in the middle of the night

Since the Creators update my Windows PC wakes up in the middle of the night.

Before Creators update, I was able to keep my desktop asleep by disabling Wake Timers in Change advanced power settings -> Sleep, and by disabling Automatic Maintenance.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg /waketimers

Timer set by [SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume6\Windows\System32\svchost.exe (SystemEventsBroker) expires at 14:54:06 on 2017-11-15.

Reason: Windows will execute 'NT TASK\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot' scheduled task that requested waking the computer.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

Why does UpdateOrchestrator set a wake timer when wake timers are disabled? How can I prevent my computer from waking me up in the middle of the night?

 

Windows wakes up in the middle of the night

Hi Summit, the task UpdateOrchestrator -> Reboot is disabled now. Windows will silently re-enable it at some point, so this doesn't prevent Windows from waking up in the middle of the night. Regards, Wessel
