Task Scheduler and media center
Hi,
My monitor keeps turning on in the middle of the night (desktop on 24x7) and I went through the power settings (advanced) and turned off network/keyboard/mouse pwr mgmnt in device manager. It still keeps turning on overnight but I don't know specific time.
Under powercfg - waketimers I see one entry for mcupdate scheduled. I went into turn windows features on/off via control panel and under Media there is only Media Player, there is no Windows Media Center that I could uncheck. How can I turn this *feature* off and hopefully it won't impact windows updates, my malwarebytes or avast scans (which both run after midnight at some point). I was thinking it was Avast turning on monitor to display results of scan. Only issue it sees every night is unable to access my Outlook *.ost files for 2 email accounts. I did post over there to see if anyone sees this as well. I think I just need to know how to disable the mcupdate task but haven't found exactly where to do this. Specific command/pointer would be appreciated if this is indeed what is turning my monitor on overnight. I physically turn it off when done using the PC and this only happens overnight while asleep. And no, it's not my cats messing with me ;-)
Thanks!
Mike
