Windows 10: Update Orchestrator Wakes PC, Won't Return to Sleep

Windows 10 laptop keeps waking and will not return to sleep.


Checking the Even Viewer, the apparent cause is the Update Orchestrator Service waking it up. This is fine, except that it doesn't put the PC back to sleep. In Power Options -> Sleep -> System Unattended Sleep Timeout, the timer is set to 2 minutes, but clearly this isn't being honored.


A possible workaround is to set Power Options -> Sleep -> Allow Wake Timers - > Disable, but this will prevent Windows from updating in the background.

Updates are paused but Update Orchestrator keeps waking PC.

I normally do updates every few days but so it does not inconvenience me I do them then set them to be paused so the PC which is in my bedroom does not wake me at night. For the past few days even though its paused Update Orchestrator is waking my pc, but why? Should it not be disabled when Updates are Paused? I'm on 1903 for reference.

Here is my Powercfg -lastwake report:

Owner: [SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\System32\svchost.exe (SystemEventsBroker) Owner Supplied Reason: Windows will execute 'NT TASK\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Universal Orchestrator Start' scheduled task that requested waking the computer.

I know you can murder the task and take system privileges from it to make you have to force it do updates but I only have my laptop doing that as if this happens to it in a bag that can be a very bad thing and used to happen till pausing was a thing.

Any steps I should take to fix this, for now I have changed my active hours to more when I will be on it at least.
