Computer starts every night

[spokk]

Hi !

I've got a new machine, first time using W10 so here what's happening :

-Every morning i turn on my computer and i turn it off every night.
-When i wake up in the middle of the night for a tinkle or whatever i notice my extern drive led blinking and my Graphics card leds too.
-This happens every night.
-When i power on my monitor (it's a TV in fact with a home theater) there's no signal so i can assume it's ina sort of sleep mode or pre-start thing

Here's what i tried :

- disabling wake-on-lan
- unchecking the "allow udates to wake up bla bla"
- changing the time to 9 am (since my computer is already on at that time)
- disabling the scheduled tasks to wake up my computer.

What i can try but i don't know how :

- disabling intel smart connect.

Thank you for your help.

Win 10 by default uses hybrid hibernate when you shut it off at night, so its not really off, its sleeping. What it does is copies the kernal +loaded drivers into ram so on startup its faster as it has to load less.

If you have a SSD, just turn it off as it only helps loading on hdd where it makes startup faster - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-10-a.html

turning off fast start up will actually turn PC off when you shut it off and it shouldn't restart during the night unless you have cats who like to play with power button.
