Yes, you should see a doctor about that.
I hear they recommend castration/sterilization as a precautionary measure to stop the spread of your retardation.

Change WOL settings on your network card to only wake using "magic packet"

Your network card can store a date to turn back on. Windows 10 just wrote a time for WOL.

You can also just disable WOL.

Yea probably this.

I used to have this problem with windows 7 and 10 for the longest time.

Go to your control panel, device manager, and uncheck your network adapter settings box "Allow this device to wake the computer." That solved it for me, I used to need to unplug the computer to ensure it wouldn't turn on but looks like it was just network activity waking it.

This surely can't be secure?
>>
>>62210972
WoL is probably older than you
>>
>>62210972
Even if you exposed WoL to the entire internet it's not a real security threat. All it does is wake up your computer, at most it can make you use a bit more power.

I use a separate PC for gaming and a laptop for general stuff. The gaming PC has Windows 10 just because that's the best Windows for gaming. My gaming PC wakes up constantly from sleep but I haven't fixed it yet. I'm thinking about installing a very game-friendly Linux distro as dual boot so I could reduce the amount of Windows exposure in my life. Maybe Ubuntu if not SteamOS.

This makes me wonder, which company collects/has more data on you? Microsoft or Google?

Google has things like everything you do on your phone + your browser, including pictures taken and location, but Microsoft has everything you do on your PC (browser stuff included) but also everything non-browser related too.

>more than 2 years after windows 10 release people still cannot configure windows update

Yes, you should be worried about being mentally challenged.

Happens to me too, somehow Windows can wake it up to install (((updates))), even from hibernation.

Happened on me it's a part of windows maintenance I heard, event my parents laptop with windows 10 installed wake up in middle of the night.
>>
>>62212104
Nope. It was like 4am and after checking the basic shit, I just decided to restore because I wanted to sleep. I keep Windows on a separate SSD, so I didn't lose anything.

>>62212144
It's not even worth setting up at this point. I have a pretty nice Acer Aspire that I put Arch on, so I only use this Windows PC for gayming. I do all of my devshit on laptop.

Windows sucks mega donkey dick, but linux is downright useless for people that aren't autistic basement dwellers like yourself.
