    Your wifes bf bumped the power button in the night on the way out, you have wake-on-lan and got some stray wake up packet from a chinese, or a power surge triggered AC recovery in your bios, which you have set to 'always on'.

      how did the chinks enable WOL on my pc

      I find it's because of this stupid wireless mouse and keyboard combo I was given. Unplugging the dongle before going to sleep seems to help.

      i dont use wireless im not a pleb

        Intel Management Engine probably. De-solder all chips from your motherboard before you go to bed to be safe.

        It's a wake timer, you can turn it off in advanced power settings.

        I also had an issue years ago with my computer waking up, often just minutes after I put it to sleep. Turned out it was my piece of shit keyboard that was in the process of dying. I don't know if it was disconnecting and reconnecting or sending a phantom keystroke. I tracked it down by finding the "Power Troubleshooter" event in Event Viewer, and it said it woke because of the keyboard.

      Or windows has an update service scheduled to run at 3 am by default and it wakes it up from sleep and hibernation.

          I use sleep for short periods of time, like going to a store and hibernation for longer time spans, like sleeping.

            I have Windows on an ssd. It still comes back faster from hibernation and all my programs are still open and ready for use. I have 32gigs of ram so I like having shit open and ready when I feel like using them.

            I have an SSD so boot times are about the same, maybe a minute longer than resuming from hibernation. but also hibernating means I'll be exactly where I left off when I turned off the computer (all my tabs, programs, and projects opened and ready)

            I don't like leaving my computer running all the time because 1) that's 60+ watts just chilling, 2) generates heat and it's about 95° outside, 3) can't hack what's not running

          Yes, because Linux doesn't work on laptops.
          Owning a laptop is something you'll never experience, so I'm not surprised you don't know this.

      my pc doesnt have bluetooth or wifi
      and last time i tried bluetooth on pc was in 2005 and it had that annoying dongle you had to use, and switching batteries pissed me off too much where i decided i never gonna use bluetooth peripherals ever since. and im not sure whats the point of wireless shit on pc when it's stationary and full of wires already

    This used to happen to me back when I used Windows and used to put it on hibernate instead of shutting it down, it would turn on by itself around 3am. Very creepy. It was one of the many reasons that motivated me to move to Linux.

    In the old days, start and shut down actually turned your PC off. These days after going through the usually start shut down, you need to either flip the physical switch on your PSU or flip the switch on your power strip. It's one extra step but your PC will actually turn off and not just be in some sort of moronic sleep mode.

    It's not good to always have you parts on 24/7 for years. Electronics are just like car parts, they wear out from use over time.

      >you need to either flip the physical switch on your PSU or flip the switch on your power strip.
      I'm doing this anyway which is precisely why it's annoying to suspend my PC and have it try to boot up when reaching for the power switch.
      It's especially dumb that it doesn't get automatically disabled if you use drive encryption too because the PC won't even be able to boot without someone entering the password. It will just boot into the bitlocker prompt and power off again after the timeout. But then again, it's easy to fix in the device manager. I don't the problem exists with any other OS than Windows.

        Yes it is dumb, I just flip my PSU after my normal shut down. To me it's not a big deal. I've been computing for decades so I don't know exactly when shut down stopped working but it is what it is.

    disable wake on timer or whatever in advance power options on windows, and disable resume on mouse or whatever in BIOS- having the computer wake on mouse movements is the dumbest thing imaginable
