    I just want to know why my Windows 10 laptop is waking up by itself in the middle of the night to apply updates it isn’t supposed to have? What the fuck?!

      You don’t own proprietary software. When you allow it access to your computing resources, you can just hope it does what you want it to do, the way you want it to.

      Sounds like a bonkers extremist position, and in a way it is, but it’s also true.

      To answer the question as written: yes.

        Thanks. It was set to Allow Important Only when plugged in, I’ve disabled it. This prevents me from using Wake-On-Lan, though, which is shitty. I fucking hate Windows.
