Hello everyone this is Eddie the Magic Monk welcome to another technology
tutorial I'm making this video because when I wake up in the morning I have
been discovering that my computer is already turned on when the night before
I'm a hundred percent sure that I have put the computer to sleep but somehow in
the morning it's already turned on so I thought there was some sort of problem
with the hardware but then I did a bit of research and discovered that it was
actually only a software problem how funny is that so in order to fix it what
you do is you on your computer on the bottom left hand side you're going to
right-click and choose run and then you're going to type in CMD in the text
box so quickly type in CMD and click OK and now this is what I want you to enter
into the command prompt you're going to type in power config CFG space - last
wake now what this command does is it tells you why your computer turned
itself on the last time what was the reason behind you turning your computer
on and if it displays this message that would mean that you turned it on
yourself ok because what happened was I actually I'm recording this video at
nighttime so but when I type this in this morning straight after I turned the
computer on this was the message that I got ok this was the message that I got
this morning oops Oh yep that's the one and it tells
me that the reason that I turned my computer on was because Windows
executed a regular maintenance schedule task so that was the whole reason my
computer turned itself on because there was a regular maintenance task so it
wasn't that um the evil demon has been turning the computer on or whatever it's
just the computer had a scheduled maintenance task so now I want to show
you guys how to turn that off okay so you're now going to go to control panel
so if you're on Windows 8 it'll be in settings ah
settings control panel or if you're in Windows 7 or whatever I'm sure you can
find your way around to the control panel it should be down in the start
button somewhere control panel okay over here now once you're in control panel
you're going to go to system and security and then you're going to go to
Action Center and then you're going to click on maintenance and you're going to
scroll down to where it says automatic maintenance and you're going to click on
change maintenance settings and then here it says automatic maintenance run
maintenance tasks at 3 a.m. and here is where it's a funny question allows
scheduled maintenance to wake up my computer right so it's waking up my
computer every morning at midnight so that's crazy so I untick this box and
then I click OK make sure you click OK at the bottom and then that's it
your computer will not turn itself on anymore
how awesome ok thanks for watching guys see you next time.
