Laptop wakes from sleep - help!
I"ve been trying to figure this out for such a long time and I'm losing my mind. The short version is that my computer, like my kid, seems to wake up from sleep all the time and if on AC, just runs and runs and runs with the lid closed and gets really hot and the fan makes a lot of noise. If on battery, it just runs until it dies. Either way, I think my battery is at like 30% capacity from all the cycles. Really unfortunate.
I've been reading lots of blog articles and there's lots of suggestions, but I can't seem to find a solution. All I know is that I've set my power plan to not wake for timers on battery and only important timers for AC. I've run a sleep study and it looks like this keeps coming up:
"Timer - Windows will execute 'NT TASK\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Unversal Orchestrator Start' scheduled task that request waking the computer.
When I go into the Task Scheduler (Local) > Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > UpdateOrchestrator, I see some task name but no "Orchestrator Start".
I don't know if that's even the problem, but now my laptop has about 30 minutes of battery time and keeps running on most nights. Can someone help me figure this out? I'm decently tech savvy, but I don't really know my way around CMD prompts and that kind of thing.
