In all seriousness, for the 1000th time: who at MSFT do I need to convince that it is such an absurdly stupid idea to update & reboot my PC *without my consent* while it's sleeping?
"Why is it so hot in the office? Why is the PC turned on? WHY ARE MY INSTANCES OF VS CLOSED?!?"
@molecularmusing ironically windows will never shut down when you want it to because some process still holds an open file or whatever and *then* you need to explicitly consent that that is actually what you wanted it to do....
@WaitForPresent OMG, that is so true, never made the connection!
Makes me even more angry, feels like being belittled by the OS...
"Are you really certain you want to restart? Because to me it doesn't look like you want to, so I'm not going to, you know?".
Let's fix this by putting some AI in it, alright.
@molecularmusing hate this so so much. I hibernate my PC then turn it off at the wall to stop it doing it!
@neilhenning @molecularmusing I just hibernate, that seems to be enough (my PC is connected to a UPS)
@sinbad @molecularmusing I’ve had my hibernating PC turn back on in the past so I lost trust!
@neilhenning @molecularmusing now I think about it I’ve had that too ages ago, I got rid of it somehow but can’t remember how (edit: I think wake on network settings somewhere)
@neilhenning @sinbad @molecularmusing Yeah, this happens regularly. After it does it doesn’t even go back into hibernate/sleep like it’s supposed to. Just sits on the login with my displays on all weekend sometimes. -_- Hard power switch it is!
@slembcke @neilhenning @sinbad @molecularmusing 100% - I switch it off completely.
@MouseByTheSea @slembcke @neilhenning @molecularmusing This might fix it for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/tbze6h/comment/i0ads3l/
I’ve been simply hibernating mine for ages without any unwanted wake ups, I think in my case it was my network adapter
@MouseByTheSea @slembcke @neilhenning @molecularmusing the reason I was particularly motivated to solve it is I have my work PC hibernate itself at a set time after work, after running daily builds. It’s more efficient than running a separate build server, but means I’m not there to physically turn it off. I haven’t had any unwanted wake up incidents for a couple of years now, I did used to get them before
