Windows 10: HDD keeps waking up every 10 min

I have read a lot about this tough I dont know what process is causing it.

So the OS is on a SSD and have a 1TB HDD which I hardly use. Thus preferably its always off. However it keeps waking up auto every 20 min ish. I have run the Proces Monitor though I dont know what process is causing it.



Any help would be awsome

Logitech M510 Mouse Keeps Waking Up Computer

Hi,

It's always good to preserve your device's power by putting it on sleep mode. If your mouse is waking up the device, we suggest following the steps below as another workaround:

• Press Windows Key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
• Once Command Prompt window opens, enter the following command: powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
• You should be able to see the list of all devices that are allowed to wake up your computer. Enter
  powercfg -devicedisablewake “device name” into Command Prompt to stop a device from waking up your PC. Remember to
  replace “device name” with a name of the actual device. It’s also important to keep the quotation marks, so do not delete them.
• You can also use powercfg -deviceenablewake “device name” command to enable certain device to wake up your PC, but it is optional. You can find the name of the specific device by using the Device Manager.

Keep us in the loop with the result.

It is possible that your

  the
  HDD

•
