Ken, Ken, Ken, I'm here man!!![Wink]( "Wink")
I do have a life outside of this forum, which has been very busy lately, since I have an actual job. Not to mention trying to enjoy myself occasionally, you know how it is, right?![LOL]( "LOL")
I must say you have some of the goofiest problems I have ever heard about.![Pinch]( "Pinch")
These "problems" in this case must have a logical explanation. I have a Z97 Extreme6 PC that is shutdown and stays that way. My other PCs don't wake up spontaneously either.
There is no such thing as almost nothing installed, all it takes is one program to put an entry in Scheduled Tasks, and that entry will wake the PC when it wants to wake it. Why would a program like Macrium do that? We just never know. There could also be something coming across your network that is waking the PCs.
That your PCs wake up exactly in 24 hours does not seem like a random event, right?
My point is what you are thinking is a bug of some sort, may have a perfectly logical explanation. Do we really understand everything that goes on in our PCs? No we don't.
Download the free version of CCleaner. Run it and click on Tools, and then click on Startup.
Next click on the Scheduled Tasks entry at the top. Do you see any entries in there? Also check the Windows and Context Menu options for entries.
Anything looks like it could be causing your PC to wake up? You can highlight and choose Disable for any of these entries, without removing them.
This is a start, and I want to know what entries you have in those three areas.
