    My internal secondary HDD is still going to sleep


    It's a brand new installation of Windows 10, the updates are run and applied.
    I went into the power settings in the control panel and told it to not let anything go to sleep
    My secondary HDD is still going to sleep however. It's a Seagate 500GB on SATA 1

    :)

    Windows 10 Anniversary update still freezes

    Even with the latest updates, Windows 10 anniversary update still freezes (mostly it seems to get stuck somewhere during the night when I'm sleeping). I had the anniversary update installed pretty much after it was released, and it's kept up to date. But
    it seems the last 'fix' for fixing this problem did not fix it.. Main windows disk is SSD, and I do have a secondary internal HDD drive..

    My internal secondary HDD is still going to sleep

    Hy Quantos, find exact model number of that HDD and check on Seagate site for its options. Some HDDs, mostly ones labeled as "Green" have own power saving modes which OS can't regulate. There may be a program from Seagate (Seatools) that can turn that off and on.

    I sorted it, thanks anyway for the reply. It was a problem in the BIOS I think
