Why is media center waking my computer if media center was removed?

Hi,

Still trying to figure out what it is that keeps waking up my computer from sleep.

I looked in the event logs and found this:
The system has returned from a low power state.


Sleep Time: ‎2015‎-‎08‎-‎30T03:12:34.409741300Z
Wake Time: ‎2015‎-‎08‎-‎30T03:30:51.010471500Z


Wake Timer - Windows will execute 'NT TASKMicrosoftWindowsMedia Centermcupdate_scheduled' scheduled task that requested waking the computer.

What I don't understand is why is mcupdate waking the computer if Media Center was removed from Windows 10.

But more importantly how do I stop this from happening?

Thanks

Check your task scheduler to ensure there is no task under media center. If there is, delete it.

Upgrade or clean install? The upgrade could have left cruft(unwanted/unneeded software leftovers) on your system. Just do like Snakeyes said. And when you get the time, and haven't done a clean install yet, get your software installers(can always save the ones from updates) and drivers specific to your PC and do one.

Okay, so there seems to be a lot of tasks under media center. I don't want to mess things up so am I really to delete "ALL" of these tasks:



Yes, this was an upgrade. I'm not prepared to do a clean install as we've got too slow of an internet connection and I'd have to download a lot of software (oh, how I long for the days when I could just grab a DVD/CD out of my software case and re-install it). But I'll eventually get around to it once I've re-downloaded most of the software that I have bought over the years but which is only available via download.

I can understand, I have been using pre-paid mobile broadband for a few years, and get my fiber-optic connection this coming Thursday.

back to your problem... Instead of deleting the tasks, I recommend disabling them first to make sure there will be no ill effects to your system.

Great point. Sorry I missed that.
