What's on your mind?

My desktop PC keeps turning itself on for no reason... Does anybody know why? This isn't a new thing I'm just fed up having to get up in the middle of the night to turn it off.

P.S. I have researched this countless times and tried tons of fixes so don't be offended if I say "tried that, it didn't work". But please do suggest ideas!!!

Is it a Windows 8 machine? It might be trying to update. Though I think my Windows 7 machine does it after updates as well... The internet says that you can type "powercfg -lastwake" into a command prompt after it's come on for no reason and it should tell you why it turned on.

Also, check your Task Scheduler (type it into the start menu search thing.)


As for what I've been up too; I seem to have a bad habit of ignoring my own projects to work on others. I was up until 4am helping someone recode their runner-type game into actually being playable. It was good fun, but I have a lot of fun stuff I need to do for myself...
