Lot of users are experiencing this weird problem. Their windows 10 laptop even in sleep mode is getting restarted for making the changes into account for updates. Now, this can be problematic as many user while travelling keep their laptops in sleep mode and in this case, they have no control on their PC, as it will reboot and will be turned on and will keep eating battery in the process, which they haven’t expected in sleep mode. Now let us see how to fix this problem.

Step 2 – Click on update & security
Step 3 – Now, click on Advanced options.
Step 4 – Now, select Notify to schedule restart as the option here.
Method 2 – Fix windows 10 reboots in sleep mode
Step 1 – Search Task Scheduler in the windows 10 taskbar.

Task Scheduler Library –> Microsoft –> Windows –> UpdateOrchestrator
Now, Double click on Reboot as shown in the pic below. Click on conditions tab and then uncheck the option which says wake the computer to run this task.
Now, your reboot task will never wake up your oc from hibernation stage to run itself. That means your pc will not wake up to reboot itself in case of updates.

Hello
I have this weird problem on my Dell PC with windows 10 : when set to sleep, the PC awakes (around 1 time per minute) and goes back to sleep. I never had this problem with windows 8 and windows 8.1. I tried both solutions you provide, but the problem is still here.
Leon says
I ran the windows mode-line command :
“powercfg -lastwake”
that said :
” Source de sortie de veille [0]
Type : Minuteur de sortie de veille
Propriétaire : [SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume5\Program Files (x86)\AVerMedia\AVerUpdate\AVerUpdateServer.exe (AVerUpdateServer)
C:\WINDOWS\system32>”
I deactivated the AVerUpdateServer service and now my PC sleeps quietly without awaking and going back to sleep every minute.
Thanks for your help.

I could not uncheck that task because it was grayed out. How do I fix that?
Frederico says
Never mind. I forgot to doubleclick on Reboot.

I don’t going into rage mode but this SH@T IS RETARDED! Microsoft, fix your sh@t!!! The reason why the task’s settings are grayed out is because the Task Scheduler requires to be run as administrator. Okay, but the problem with doing that is that the stupid @ss thing crashes when you run it as admin. Snap-it couldn’t load blah blah. If you click on “Unload snap-it and continue”, you get an exception and this t@rd crashes. If you pick the first option “Report to Microsoft and close MMC (or whatever)” the thing crashes again. Windows 10 is a beta operating system. People complain about Linux being shit but it’s mostly voluntary work there and it’s (in most cases) free. Behind Windows we have this big fat @ss multinational corporation which basically has a monopoly over the desktop PC market when it comes to operating systems and abuses its position with f@cking sh@tty Windows. God damn it, I dumped this cr@p 3-4 years ago and only recently had to start working with it (more likely torture myself with it!) at work.
