Why is it that very often the PC keeps awake? The monitor switches off OK, but whereas sometimes
the PC's light blinks indicating sleep, very often it just keeps going, sometimes for more than 24

I know W10 has to do housekeeping tasks like creating backups of the operating system but surely
these tasks can't take all that time?

Did you turn off Defrag? And don't forget about Window$ Defender might
do some background scanning when the PC is idle....


Sometimes I wake up in the morning and the screen is still lit. Most
times, it's not.

Sometimes I leave Radiomaximus downloading and playing music, but I turn
off the sound. Other times, I stop the station itself.

I haven't tried yet to see if the two situations match up.
