Does powercfg not tell you the reason for waking?
You seem to have assumed it is this one task scheduler entry but I can't see why.
For me \Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot is a disabled task (which I can toggle on and off the wake computer box incidentally). It is triggered when I reboot to do whatever it does. That is it runs when I reboot - it doesn't trigger the reboot.
I don't see why you think it wakes the computer. Not saying it doesn't but I can't understand why you think it does.
Just for interest in case it is useful, S-1-5-18 is SECURITY_LOCAL_SYSTEM_RID (A special account used by the operating system) - see Well-known SIDs (Windows) It doesn't have a password.
The C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot object (on my PC) is owned by Administrators group with LOCAL SERVICE and Administrators having Read/Execute authority and SYSTEM having full control. You should be able to (and I can) change it if you are part of the Administrators group. You don't need the built in Administrator.
What does powercfg /lastwake show anyway? Anything interesting?
