Disable WMC Auto Update?

#1

Windows 8.1. Having a wake event that seems triggered by an automated update attributed to WMC. How can I disable that?

BTW this machine NEVER is or NEVER will be connected to the internet.

Any help with this one last remaining unwanted wake event greatly appreciate!

TIA

By default, WMC will wake the computer when it needs to do it's daily download. You can tell it not to wake the PC:

This is for Win7, but I assume it is the same for Win8.

This is excellent---thanks so much.

I did a search using a few different terms knowing something like this existed, never found this article.

Mucho Gracias!
