For sometime, when I power down my computer it restarts itself later or in the middle of the night. How do I stop this? Using WIN10 Pro Version 20H2.
P.S. Computer is not sleeping or hibernating.
Turn it off [rather than sleep/hibernate it].
On many computers, you can also prevent Task scheduler waking the computer by hibernating it then turning off AC power.
- I have one computer that this does not work for but it has applied to all others for a couple of decades.

Hello @sd75mac,
To possibly find out what is causing this, download and run this Batch script [ written by me ] . . .
> Attachment 309066.
It will create a PowerCFG_Detailed_Analysis.txt file on the Desktop.
It will also create the following files on the Desktop . . .
Battery-Report.html
Energy-Report.html
System-Power-Report.html
System-Sleep-Diagnostics.html
I hope this hleps.

I have seen this when a power supply has problematic +5 volt standby (+5vsb).
Thanks everyone for your assistance. I believe I have solved my issue. This is a new computer build. The motherboard has two ethernet ports, one Intel and one Marvell. I was using the Marvell port which as an automatic WOL (Wake on LAN). After some other Windows switch settings (which did not work), it seems the move to the Intel port maybe has solved the problem, still testing.
Thanks again for all the assistance.
