Two nights ago, I put my computer to sleep, pulled the cord, went to bed, and when I woke up, it was totally shut down with all the power out. I suspect it had woken itself up, installed a bunch of updates, and before it could finish, the battery died.
Last night, in the middle of the night, my computer woke me up at 3:30 am when I heard it shutting down, restarting, and then a message saying “installing update 1 of 3” or something like that. I did have the power cord plugged in last night, and so it went through the whole process.
I suspect one of those windows saying “Your computer will shut down unless you say no in 30 seconds” appeared. Because I was not awake, I didn’t click “no” and so it went through the process, shutting down all of my files.
The odd thing is, this morning, my computer was fully awake, a full hour and a half after the updates were installed, even though I have the computer set to go to sleep after 45 minutes of inactivity. Why is this?
Also, is there a way to tell Windows not to install updates or restart my computer without my permission?
I think*** I put my computers to sleep last night and the night before, but am not 100% positive.
