Hi Curt,

Thanks for all your suggestions. I have not been able to find a way to get
a support incident raised with Microsoft without going through the "pay us
£65/$130" page!

Actually I think your earlier suggestion of turning off automatic updating
may have worked after all. At the time, I thought it hadn't as the event
viewer was still showing next event for ehSched as 03.00 the following
morning. But it is still showing the same date/time (now 03.00 this morning
past) and it hasn't run since. I will leave the PC on overnight tonight with
fingers crossed. Will post result!

Its not the ideal solution (since it means I have to manually download
updates) but it is a lot better than the PC waking!

Again many thanks for all your time and suggestions.

Chris

That's great. You can change the time on that to run at a more decent hour
if it works.

Unless MCupdate changes it to 3 am every time it runs, but it's
easy to check.

Hi Curt - to close this off - I'm pleased to report that the PC did not wake
last night. As I said, not the ideal solution as I now have to run the
updates manually (there is still no way I can find to change the time ehSched
runs automatically or to prevent it waking the PC when it runs) but at least
it no longer acts as my 3.00am alarm clock!

Thanks again for you assistance.
