Windows 10: HDD turns on when laptop switches to sleep mode

I have a laptop with SSD and HDD. Windows 10 is installed on SSD.
When the HDD is not used for some time it turns off and after that when I put the laptop into sleep mode it turns on only to turn off again. Is there a way to stop such behaviour ?

I also wonder is it possible not to turn on HDD when laptop wakes up. I use this HDD only for storage and I rarely make any changes on it.

Hi Johan,

It is possible that your
HDD was unreadable
causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:

• 
  Shutdown
  your
  PC.
  
• 
  Unhooked
  the
  HDD
  and
  turn on
  your
  PC.
  
• 
  Reconnect
  your
  HDD
  and
  restart
  your
  PC.
  

If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
laptop/computer's manufacturer
for further assistance.

Sleeping mode gone fishin'

Hi,

I know how to turn them to be changeable but I need help to turn the
sleeping mode button back, so if you can help me out in there I would be pleased.

• I guess no, I didn't, and I don't know how did the sleeping mode mananged to just dissappear from there.
• I didn't troubleshooted this problem (except here).
• And yes, I tried the steps but they didn't helped me.

So I ask you, how should I turn back the sleeping mode if ( you can see) the sleeping mode is not in the settings? If you have an idea for solving this problem please reply under this post.

Thanks
