Windows 10: Why does my computer running Windows 10 of late wake up and run for hours after I put it to...

Why does my computer running Windows 10 of late wake up and run for hours after I put it into Sleep mode? When I select Sleep and the computer goes into Sleep mode, I expect it to stay there! I do not want my computer running for hours when I do not need it running, in particular because of the hard drives. Also, it boots again which adds a little more wear and teat to the HD's over time. It's like Microsoft does not allow the owner of a computer running Windows to have full control of their computer.I have had this problem before on one or more Windows computers. I have not recently installed

unable to run window store and update

Sorry for the late response. If the above steps did not work, let's try another troubleshooting step. You can try the suggestion by Linley Meslier above and see if it will resolve the issue. If not, try resetting Windows Store cache. Follow the steps below:

• Click on Cortana.
• Type WSreset.exe, then click it.
• The Store app and a command prompt will open without any messages and it will automatically close when the process is done.
• Restart the computer.

After doing the steps, try running Windows Store again and see if you can do an update.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

windows task wakes up computer

I've found a better solution (without all the windows suckurity hacking) to keep windows 10 from waking up:

As a solution I've added a powershell script that removes wake settings every hour.

• 
  To allow running powershell scripts: run powershell as administrator, and run:
  
  Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
  
• 
  Create a file called "disable_wakejobs.ps1" that contains one line of code:
  
  Get-ScheduledTask | ? {$_.Settings.WakeToRun -eq $true -and $_.State -ne "Disabled"} | % {$_.Settings.WakeToRun = $false; Set-ScheduledTask $_}
  
• 
  Open Task Scheduler and create a scheduled task.
  
• In the "General" tab, set the user account to "SYSTEM" user (or you'll have to update a saved password every time you change your own password.)
• In the "Triggers" tab, create a trigger that runs the job daily and repeat every hour.
• In the "Actions" tab, create an action to "Start a program", with "Program/script" set to "PowerShell.exe", and arguments
  -Command "c:\tools\disable_wakejobs.ps1" (change the path to where you stored
  disable_wakejobs.ps1 in step 2.)

computer screen goes black but computer still running windows 10

I am using HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC, with windows 10 single language 64 bit Operating System, with 8 GB RAM.

I am facing TWO major issues:

1. After leaving the system idle for more then an hour, the computer screen goes black but computer still running windows 10, and it does not wake up. (no issue arise, if i continuously work on the system, even for hours)
2. But after working for full day, when a tried to shutdown the system, the same situation arises (i.e. computer screen goes black but computer still running windows 10, but never shut down).

so in both the case i have to use forced shutdown, (by press and hold power button).

had also executed check disk but no problem found. I doubt my system would crash one day.
