    Waking in the middle of the night


    So I built my PC about a year ago and as of recent the thing has been waking in the middle of the night from sleep and just blasting my room full of light. I don't know what is causing it but when i run powercfg -last wake it talks about a systemEventsBroker and UpdateOrchestrator. I would really love to know if anyone has fixed a similar problem in the past or knows how to fix this. thanks so much for any help

    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?

    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

    Windows 10 Wakes from Sleep in the Middle of the night

    My Computer randomly wakes up from sleep in the middle of the night (3:30AM). I have checked the event logs and it says
