| | Re: WindowsUpdateClient wakes Vista at 6AM every day Hi, I've read through the tutorial you linked to, but I didn't learn anything I don't already know - the tutorial only really covers basic use of Windows Update... The first question in the FAQ section touches on my problem, but the answer of "Updates are downloaded behind the scenes as you use your computer." doesn't seem to be true in my case - as far as I can tell, my PC is being woken up every morning at 6AM just so that Windows Update can check for new updates. I have updates set to install at 3AM - the default setting - as I don't mind updates installing if they are downloaded and ready. It's just the checking for updates which seems to be causing me problems. I hope this makes sense...
