    Windows 10 Updates and Sleep Mode


    If non-active hours are set for during the night and the PC is left in Sleep Mode then when updates are available, does
    Windows switch on the PC with the Wake-up Timers to download and install the updates ?

    If so, does it then do the second leg of updating and restart to consolidate the updates and then switch the PC off ?
    Or are you faced with a live PC screen when you wake up in the morning ?

    None of them precisely answered my question.
    I am well aware of Windows updating capabilities during non-active hours.
    The question which appears to be shunned by all these experts is -
    "After Windows has woken up the PC, done all its updating and restarts etc - does Windows then shut the PC down or is it left on live screen until the user wakes up to switch it off ?

    My pleasure - I would have thought that a Guru could have answered this simple question in a few positive words.

    I'm afraid no one can answer it without doing a test.

    Test ? I handle my updates manually, my Wake-up timers are disabled, but I would think that at least 70% of users are on non-active hours updating, so would expect an instant reply to my fundamental question.

    I would think that the users here know how to prevent auto-updates, so the said situation will not arise.

    70% of the users here do not prevent auto updates, they love them and hence the situation most certainly arises.

    I will try elsewhere, perhaps with better luck.
