I put my computer to sleep before going to bed, but the signon screen is brightly lit every morning. Furthermore, when I launch Windows Update, it never seems to finish searching for new updates. In searching for a cause of the waking, I have come across the following potentially useful information. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
>powercfg -lastwake
Wake History Count - 1
Wake History [0]
Wake Source Count - 1
Wake Source [0]
Type: Wake Timer
Owner: [SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Windows\System32\svchost.exe (SystemEventsBroker)
Owner Supplied Reason: Windows will execute 'NT TASK\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Universal Orchestrator Start' scheduled task that requested waking the computer.

I think i found a fix that doesn't require downloading anything or complicated steps.
It's worked for me so far.
1. Go to: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings (it may also be called Change plan settings)
(you can alternatively just search for "Edit power plan" in the windows search bar)
2. Click "change advanced power settings"
3. Go to "Sleep->Allow wake timers" and change the setting to Disable.
If this doesn't work, then using psexec like RichStevens2 suggested might be the way to go.
The directions i found on another forum was helpful:
"1. First go here to download PsTools. Extract it to a folder on your desktop.
2. Open Start and type cmd. Right-click the program and choose to run as administrator.
3. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the tools by typing "cd C:\Users\Username\Desktop\Pstools", replace Username with your username and Pstools with the folder where you extracted the tools.
4. When you have navigated to the correct folder, copy the following command without the quotes: "psexec.exe -i -s %windir%\system32\mmc.exe /s taskschd.msc".
5. Open the command window and right click, choose paste. Press enter.
6. Navigate to Task Scheduler Library -> Microsoft -> Windows -> UpdateOrchestrator.
7. Right click the task called Reboot and click on Disable.
8. The task should now be disabled"
Hopefully one of these two options works for ya'll
