Question Dell Inspiron 15 turning on by itself

[FlamingoMan]

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3521 and it is randomly turning itself on in the middle of the night. Somebody told me there might be an option enabled in the bios that has my laptop turn on if screen is open. But I closed the screen when I went to bed and it still turned on. Somebody please help as I do not want to shutdown my laptop every night.
(note: this started happening after a recent windows update if that means anything)

Thanks!

I don't think a laptop can turn on automatically like that.

When you close the lid, the laptop goes in stand by mode automatically.

Let the battery drain completely.

If possible remove it, then pug in the power and see whether it turns on by itself or not.

So, remove the battery then put it back in?

Yes. Try that.

It might work.
