I had the same thing happen to me on a laptop with wireless connection. I
found this in Windows help:

"If your computer is in one of the power-saving states (Sleep or Hibernate)
during a scheduled update, and if your computer is plugged in to a power
source, Windows will wake your computer long enough to install new updates."

I do NOT watn this behavior. Since when is hibernate something you can wake
up from without user-intervention or WOL? Hibernate should be POWER OFF!
Espeically on a laptoip whether it's on battery or AC. I wish there was a
way to configure the "power on to do updates" behavior. What I decided to do
instead is dsiable automatic updates. From now on, it updates only when I
tell it to and powers on only when I tell it to.

I can't believe they put this behavior in without informing the user what
would happen and without giving the user a way to disable it without
disabling auto-updates. I amn outraged by this. I hope nothing else can
schedule my system to power on without my knowledge or consent.
