In case this helps anyone else:
I suddenly had problems with my Windows 10 workstation at home. It would wake up & resume at random times from standby. This only started in the last 2 (?) months while it worked flawlessly before… so I suspect a Windows update introduced this issue. After digging around for a while I narrowed down the culprit to a maintenance task, more specifically "UpdateOrchestrator" and it's "reboot" task. It should have been fairly easy to remove the ability to wake up the computer from that task… but for whatever reasons it would give me the message that I don't have the permissions to change the settings on this tasks.
After some digging online I found other people with the same problem and a solution by using NSudo. Then the next problem was that the tasks was also getting re-enabled even when I disabled it, so I had to find a fix for that too.
So here are the steps that I took to let my trusty Windows 10 workstation sleep at night again 😉

• Open Task Scheduler and Task Scheduler library export the task "Microsot/Windows/UpdateOrchestrator/Reboot" as a XML file to c:\temp\reboot.xml
• Edit the file with a text editor and set "WakeToRun" to "false"
• Download NSudo from http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/nsudo.html
• use Nsudo to launch cmd.exe as TrustedInstaller with all privileges
• in that command window run:
• SCHTASKS /Delete /TN "Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot"
• SCHTASKS /Create /XML c:\temp\reboot.xml /TN "Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot"
• SCHTASKS /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot" /DISABLE
• icacls "%WINDIR%\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot" /inheritance:r /deny "Everyone:F" /deny "SYSTEM:F" /deny "Local Service:F" /deny "Administrators:F"

That last step prevents the task from getting enabled/reset again.
Hope this helps others!

Welcome to your New Home on Android TV

Android TV brings rich app experiences and entertainment to the biggest screen in your house, and with Android O, we’re making it even easier for users to access content from their favorite apps.

We’ve created a new Android TV home screen, which organizes video content into channels and programs in a way that’s familiar to TV viewers. Each Android TV app can publish multiple channels, which are represented as rows of programs on the home screen. Apps add relevant programs on each channel, and update these programs and channels as users access content or when new content is available.

Also, the Google Assistant on Android TV is coming later this year, and will allow users to quickly find and access content using their voice. Because the Assistant is context-aware, it can help users narrow down what content to play. Users will also be able access the Assistant to control playback, even while a video or music is playing. When the Google Assistant comes to Android TV it will launch in the US on Android devices running M, N, and O.

You can get started developing for the new Android TV home screen using the Android O Developer Preview. To get started, visit the Android O Developer Preview site, and try out the Android TV Channels and Programs codelab for a first-hand experience building an Android TV app.
