Windows 10 will sometimes start a totally shut off computer on its own to install updates. We might be getting to the point when we can’t control our own computers.

Got the wife a new laptop for Christmas, it came with Win10, I hate the format.
So I did some research and came across a hit on Goggle for “Run win10 to look like Win7”.
I downloaded the program and ran it , and Bingo... it worked!!!

In other words it’s never completely shut off. Is big brother meddling with the hardware design of our computers?

We might be getting to the point when we can’t control our own computers. We're already there, if we're running the "latest and greatest" release.
We've been getting to that point for about 5 years (since the advent of Windows 10).

It’s called Wake On LAN, been around a long time. I can “turn on” my home PC from my Remote Desktop app.
Watch what’s still active with your PC “off” — LAN port lights, external hard drive light...
