So I've tried the following:

  • Disabled the Windows Update Service
  • Enabled No auto-restart with logged o users for scheduled automatic update
  • Set Windows Update to Notify to Schedule Restart and Defer Upgrade
  • In Power Options, disabled Wake Timers under Sleep
  • In Task Scheduler > Microsoft > Windows > UpdateOrchestrator disabled Reboot task

Yet it never fails to wake up at 6 AM sharp, starting up the computer and running all the fans at full power... waking ME up because it's in the same room.

Is there a way to completely remove this stupid automatic update? I don't know why something so simple requires so much effort to do.
