I have searched the settings and can’t find any setting that allows this behavior. I have automatic updates turned off. How do I stop it from turning on randomly?

Edit: I have a disk in it and can hear it moving parts and spinning up when it turns on. It’s so weird.

    There’s a power setting akin to “always on” that allows the console to wake up and install updates as they become available. It increases power consumption substantially. If you don’t want this you need to turn it off, I think it is on by default. You can find it in settings.

      I remember seeing and disabling that setting in the past. But knowing Microsoft I wouldn’t be surprised if they reenabled it during an “update.”

      I can’t seem to find it again in the settings. Do you (or anyone) know where exactly it is? I thought it was in power settings but can’t find it.
