So, I recently started noticing this and it's a bit concerning. I just built this PC (Specs listed below) and whenever the PC would go into sleep mode, all of the fans would stop and everything would go dark, then not even two seconds later the PC will wake itself up and have the fans spinning at full blast.

I looked in Event Viewer and nothing came up related to it. I also tried unplugging my keyboard and mouse and disabled my network adapter just in case that was waking it up and it still happens. Could it be my power supply? Or is it something I shouldn't be worried about? For now, I have the Sleep setting set to Never.

Install pstools

Extract the tool package

Open cmd with admin rights

Use either psexec (32 bit system) or psexec64 (64 bit system)

psexec64 cmd.exe

In the new cmd window run

SCHTASKS /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot" /DISABLE

Results in

INFO: Scheduled task "Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot" has already been disabled.
SUCCESS: The parameters of scheduled task "Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot" have been changed.

Also run this to disable access to above setting

icacls "%WINDIR%\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot" /inheritance:r /deny "Everyone:F" /deny "SYSTEM:F" /deny "Local Service:F" /deny "Administrators:F"

Results in

processed file: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

You can check the Task Scheduler (with admin rights) for Reboot task; it is disabled and access is denied. Also check that the Schedule Scan and USO_Broker_Display tasks have "Wake the computer to run this task" unchecked in "Conditions" tab.

Done! And you again own your own computer which you paid for :) FU MS. Thanks to DebayanGupta at
