Enable or Disable Wake Timers in Windows 10  

Thank you both.

I performed Option 2 from the Tutorial and it didn't work.

I then performed this . . .



I will report back!

Both the Keyboard & Mouse are wired!

UPDATE:

Making the amendments above It didn't restart immediately etc.
I changed the computer time a couple of times to about 23:00pm and left it fo an hour or so, it didn't restart.
As I use either my mouse or keyboard to wake the Desktop up, I changed the Keyboard & Mouse back to their original settings, just leaving the Ethernet amended.

So far it seems to be OK!

Thanks @Brink, if only everything was that easy!

Hello @Brink,

Over the last few months I have been asked about wake timers a lot. Therefore, I thought I would put a script together that includes ALL the options as per the Tutorial and post it here for everyone to have access to.

If you think it will be useful, then by all means add it to your Tutorial.

Code:
