Disable Power Auto on

My Dell Optiplex 7440 turns itself on every morning around 3:45 a.m.. How do I disable this function? I have scoured the settings and cannot find anything to tell me how to do this. Thanks in advance

    It should be in the BIOS.

    However, a Scheduled Event in Windows might also be able to wake it if just Sleeping.

    Tesla is right. Check out bios>power management screen options

    Auto On TimeAllows you to set the time at which the computer must turn on automatically. The options are:

    • Disabled
    • Every Day
    • Weekdays
    • Select Days

    Default setting: Disabled
