Computer Habit

When I came down this morning, my computer was running. I asked my son about it, and said that it turned on just before I came downstairs. Is my computer developing AI?

Look up the auto startup in the windows settings.

This one has turned itself on before. After checking everything I could find online about that, I could find no reason. I think it's just learning my schedule and eliminating my waiting time.
It had been off for over twelve hours.

I got an email from Spectrum saying there was an outage in my area, but it didn't affect our house. One of the causes of a turn-on is a power outage, but we didn't have that, either. I don't have Fast Start turned on.

At this point, I'd be glad to accept any additional intelligence, artificial or not.

It has been over twenty years since I had a computer that would turn back on after the AC Power goes out. Mine go off (controlled crash off) during a electrical power outage and stay off until manually restarted. That is the way you want it. I remember friends having computers back in the day that if repeatedly turned on and off the O/S software and power supply transformer could be damaged.

It is Windows setting. I have Win10 pro and the setting is on mine, turned off of course.

Mine is on 24/7 with the exception of an occasional restart. I've done that for many years. No wireless connection. I ran a 70 foot ethernet cable up and around windows, doors and through three walls.
