usoclient.exe in Windows 10 wakes up my PC with Wake Source: Unknown
So for a few weeks now, I've been dismissing this new Windows 10 Creators Update nag dialog. Some days I wake up to find that my PC is already awake. It turns out that Microsoft's been doing something sneaky behind the scenes. I thought I'd done all the usual methods to prevent that scenario, such as disabling the mouse from being able to wake up Windows. Looking in Event Viewer (eventvwr), I see the wake source is Unknown. We can run a command in Windows Powershell to list all Scheduled Tasks that could wake the PC: Windows PowerShell Copyright (C) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
