Apple does this during sleep when connected to power, so maybe Microsoft thought it needs that as well?

- arghwhat 2y agoThis triggers connected screens to wake up despite no signal every time it does it. Unfortunately you cannot disable it on Apple silicon Mac’s…
- isodev 2y agoIndeed, I need to remember to unplug the USB-C cable between my macbook pro and my screen, otherwise it flickers on and off every couple of seconds during the night
- genewitch 2y agowired controllers on nintendo switch docks do this, and yes, it is really annoying. It is about every 3 minutes. and it's for the same reason as the macs and windows machines - the switch wakes up and checks for updates then goes back to sleep.
- OptionOfT 2y agoMy Lenovo dock has the same issue when I put my Lenovo to sleep.
- angulardragon03 2y agoIIRC you can’t run updates while the laptop is asleep though, as that typically requires a user password to initiate. Even with MDM you can’t force updates during sleep
- newdee 2y agoThat problem is solved by the Bootstap Token in modern macOS and MDMs which support it. The token gets escrowed with the MDM during enrolment and can be used to unseal the volume for updates without prompting for a password. Good for unattended updates to kiosks or whatever.
