    Because you have configured it to install updates when you are not using your PC and windows is leveraging a system wake timer. If Linux was configured to do the same it would be no different.

      I don’t know about others, but I’ve tried and failed to stop my pc waking from sleep.
      At some point, it just stops providing wake reason codes. It just wakes up. The system doesn’t know or tell why.
      Hibernation has never failed me, at least.

        I have a win10 box in a rack under the side part of my desk. I use it super sporadically. I spent a couple minutes turning off the normal culprits but it still turns on randomly. Sometimes by the next morning, sometimes a week later. No rhyme or reason to it. I couldn’t be bothered to figure out what new stupidity MS put in to boot it. It’s plugged into a rack mount power strip at the top of the rack…I just unplug it now.
