🔧 Disable Wake Timers on Windows (10 & 11)

This repository provides a secure and robust method to disable all wake-up triggers that can cause your Windows machine to wake from sleep or hibernation unexpectedly — particularly during the night.

The solution works reliably on both Windows 10 and Windows 11, using a combination of PowerShell automation and optional persistent configuration via Task Scheduler.

⚙️ Features

• ✅ Disables all WakeToRun tasks (where permitted)
• ✅ Disables wake-enabled devices (e.g., mouse, NIC, USB hubs)
• ✅ Disables system wake timers in the active power plan
• ✅ Compatible with both Windows 10 and Windows 11
• ✅ Optionally installs a scheduled task to re-apply the fix at boot
• ✅ Uses NanaRun/mINsUDO.exe to gain TrustedInstaller privileges when necessary

📦 Contents

File	Description
disable_wakeup_2.ps1	The core PowerShell script that performs all actions (safe, non-destructive)
install_scheduled_task.ps1	Installs a persistent fix as a SYSTEM-level scheduled task
run_disable_wakeup_TI.bat	Entry point to run the fix manually or install the scheduled task, auto-elevated via mINsUDO.exe
mINsUDO.exe	⚠️ Not included — must be downloaded separately to enable TrustedInstaller context

---

📥 Dependencies

Required:

• PowerShell 5.1+ (default on Windows 10 and 11)
• mINsUDO.exe (download manually)

🔗 Download mINsUDO.exe from:
https://github.com/M2Team/NanaRun/releases

Place mINsUDO.exe in the same folder as the other scripts.

🚀 Usage

🔹 One-Time Execution (disable wake triggers now)

1. Download or clone this repo
2. Place mINsUDO.exe in the same folder
3. Run run_disable_wakeup_TI.bat
4. Select option [1] to disable wake timers now

The script logs output to a .log file and opens it in Notepad at the end.

---

🔸 Persistent Setup (apply fix at every boot)

1. Follow steps 1–3 above
2. Select option [2] to install the scheduled task

This creates a task named DisableWakeTimersOnBoot, running as SYSTEM at every startup. It re-applies all protections automatically.

✅ To uninstall:

Unregister-ScheduledTask -TaskName "DisableWakeTimersOnBoot" -Confirm:$false

🛡 Security and Stability Notes

• The script does not modify ACLs or deny permissions — unlike some older methods that use icacls to block UpdateOrchestrator tasks (which can break update processes).
• Using mINsUDO.exe -TI ensures the script runs with TrustedInstaller privileges, needed to disable some protected tasks.
• The script skips tasks or devices it cannot modify and logs all actions, including failures.
