Windows 10: How do I Prevent Devices from Turning on a Hibernated Windows 10 PC

I frequently hibernate my computer to turn it off without having to close programs I am currently working with. However, if I accidentally jiggle my mouse or press a key on my keyboard, my computer starts up again. Also, if I plug in my phone to charge it, my computer starts up again.


I have read this guide for preventing a mouse from starting up Windows (https://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/stop-mouse-from-waking-windows-up-from-sleep-mode/). This guide has 2 issues: firstly, my mouse doesn't have a power management tab, and secondly, even if all of my devices did have power management tabs, each time I get a new device, I would have to remember to change the settings for the device. I get new devices frequently enough for this to be inconvenient.


I want my computer to only start up if I press the power button. Is there any setting that makes the power button the exclusive means of turning on my computer?

Cannot turn off hibernation

We have two relatively new identical HP ProDesk 400s running Windows 10. The computers often go into hibernation over night, preventing us from being able to log in remotely, and we can't shut off that feature. Our IT guy is also baffled. We have tried:



Turning off hibernation in Windows

Turning off hibernation in a command shell being run as administrator

Changing the Windows power settings to high performance

Updating Windows, drivers, BIOS

Turning off power saving options in the BIOS

Deleting Energy Star

Setting the BIOS to have the computer wake up every morning at 7:00 automatically



Basically, we have tried everything that makes any intuitive sense and anything the intertubes suggested we do. All HP could suggest in addition is reinstalling Windows, which is a bigger step than we would like to take.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
