<p>Summary</p>
<p><strong>April 2022: I have made a new PowerShell script that will disable Windows’ scheduled tasks to wake a device automatically. Use it alongside the other parts of this guide. Download it at:</strong><br>

<p>There are a number of things that can affect this. I’m aware there are posts all over this site detailing various different ways to approach the issue; this post aims to consolidate them and add my own insight into the issue as someone affected by it themselves.</p>
<p>The fix outlined in Step 2 can also be used to stop Windows 10 from rebooting the machine after installing Windows Updates.</p>
<p>This fix works for the Fall Update (1709) as well. You will need to disable the ‘Reboot’ task again and re-configure the security permissions, though, because the update process replaces it.</p>
<p>Step 1: Disable wake timers for all power profiles</p>
<p>Lazy tech-bloggers would have you believe this is the end of your search. While it’s true that this step will eliminate a few errant shutdowns, there are a number of settings and configurations, particularly in Windows 10, that fail to respect this setting regardless of user intervention. Go to the Control Panel → Power Options. From here, pick whatever power profile is first on the list and disable ‘Wake timers’. Work through all profiles.</p>

<p>On Windows 10, it is strongly recommended you fix this setting <strong>for all power profiles</strong>, not just the one you have chosen to use. Various Windows faculties will use different profiles; this improves your chances of not being woken up.</p>
<p>Step 2: Disable the unruly <code>reboot</code> scheduled task</p>
<p>Windows 10’s UpdateOrchestrator scheduled task folder contains a task called “reboot”. This task will wake your computer up to install updates regardless of whether or not any are available.</p>
