Media Center Update wakes computer

[edilee012]

I don't really use Media Center much but everynight around 2:30 am my PC wakes up after it has been put in sleep mode. I finally tracked the culprit down in the evnt viewer to be the media center update causing it to wake up. Is there a way to turn MC auto updating off?

Thank you! I looked around in MC and couldn't find the settings panel but looked again and it popped open for me and the settings have been changed.

Please post back

Please post back here if your settings changes did the trick. You have applied them acurately I am sure, let's make sure they stick.

At first I adjusted the time frame to update while the PC is on and for some reason it requires you set a time frame of at least 6 hours which I did but it caused me to have game crashes (online MMO) which I was playing during the time frame. I then just set the updating to be off and I will do it manually and yes they stuck and the PC stayed asleep today.

WMC Wake up

I have the same problem. I disabled the automatic update in WMC, but it kept waking the computer up at 4 in the morning. I disabled the WMC feature in Windows 7 (Home Edition), but this did not help either. Could it be some network sharing feature that I need to remove?

Thank you very much! At last I'll be able to get some decent sleep (no pun intended)!
