Paft Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Whenever I plug/unplug a device it wakes up my PC which is frustrating. Such as turning my dual HDD dock on/off or connecting/disconnecting my phone.I have unchecked all the "allow this device to wake the computer" I could even though my dock and phone don't have those options in Device Manager. I have done the same for mouse & keyboard, just in-case.I have even disabled 'wake timers' and 'USB selective suspend'. in the power options.I'm stumped....

kadrex Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Through elevated cmd window, you can try powercfg -devicedisablewake "device name" when the usb device is connected to see if it helps.http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2008/02/13/7658352.aspxhttp://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/63567-power-options-sleep-mode-problems.html (STEP 5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeRyde Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 You might also check your BIOS settings to see if it has an option to disable allowing devices to wake the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodel Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yep, more than likely a bios setting, you'll also have wake on LAN, ps2 device (not the console!). Wake on Kb / Mouse press et cetera, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dMog Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 got the opposite problem,,, one of my usb hard drives goes to sleep all the time after win8.1 update..tried everything to fix this and now am running a program called keep HD alive..it can be set to write a tiny text file every x number of minutes to prevent the OS from powering the drive off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paft Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 It isn't my bios because I have a OC profile saved just in case my bios resets. I checked before posting anyway, just forgot to mention that.Event viewer - Power Trouble Shooter: Wake Source: UnknownP.S I'm on 7 64.I'll have a good mess later today and list what I've tried.

Paft Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) It was this btw: http://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/185/on-off-charge.htmIt doesn't have any options, it's just an installer. Removed it and PC wasn't waking when connecting/removing devices. Re-installed just to confirm. Removed.
