    Default Win 7 still trying to update?

    I have win 7 auto update turned off completely, but my PC still wakes up after 4:00 am and around 6:15am for update. I really want to stop the waking up process.
    I know it is msupdate as I cought this morning running powercfg -LASTWAKE comand.
    I checked the task scheduller and couldn't find any task listed for the action. Can anyone help with this small annoying problem as it is htpc in my bedroom and I need to get some sleep in the morning.

    I changed the windows update service startup mode from Automatic delayed to Manual. Will see tomorrow if that helps.

    That didn't help at all. Does any one have any suggestions on what else to try?

    Thanks joezep, my motherboard BIOS doesn't have the wake on LAN option and I disabled the WOL in the windows LAN card properties. I actually don't use LAN card at all, I have USB wifi dongle in use.
    Also, running powercfg -LASTWAKE comand reveals only windows update event as being responsible for the wake.

    I thought about this as well. Will try to get some more info next time it happens. From my memory it said msupdate service which is not in the list of services and I can't see it in the task scheduler as well.

    I finally got it! The problem was with my bad eyes, it wasn't msupdate after all. PC kept waking up on MCE update (mcupdate service) wich was set to wake up PC to run in the task scheduler.

    P.S. Disabling windows autoupdate doesn't disable MCE automatic update ...
