Windows 10: Hot to stop DVD drive noise when going to sleep

When the computer goes to sleep, it accesses the DVD drive (for some reason). It then makes a noise for a second or two, which is pretty annoying. Any way to stop this? It has no reason to even mess with the DVD drive. I think it is trying to see if there is a disk in there or something (maybe so it knows what to do when it wakes?)

:)

 

Crackling noise inside E71 - even when off!

That does not sound good. It doesn't appear to be a common issue either.

Was the charger connected when it was making this noise?

Does the noise stop if you remove the charger?

Does using a different charger still cause the noise?

Are you using an original Nokia battery?

If not does the noise stop if you use a Nokia battery?

Is it safe to assume that the noise stops when the battery (and charger) removed?

Is the battery very hot (not just warm)?

Is the battery bulging or misshapen in any way?



Is the phone on a metal surface?

 

After windows wake up, hot keys stop working

I use several languages and for quick access I use hot-keys.

It works normal but in case if windows go to sleep mode, close and open laptop this hot keys is stop working.

 

Is there a disc in the drive? If there is then take it out.

 

No disk in the drive. I had to check though...was going to be like "duh"

 

The computer goes through a self check when shutting down and waking up, via Windows Device Manager. It sends a request to the IRQ for any devices, to make sure that they go to sleep as they should and when the computer wakes up, it does it again.

 

Thanks for the clarification. I thought something like this was the case. I guess the question is if there is anything that can be done about it. I might try another DVD drive if all else fails.

 

If you hardly use that drive and it is a desktop, unplug it. I am sure that there is an inline switch out there, that can be used to shut the drive off.
