    My PC starts after pressing any of keys


    As the title speaks for itself, my PC on Windows 10 gets started by pressing any keys while I am completely sure that my PC is not into Sleep, Hibernate or Standby modes. I also think that the issue is not related to my ASUS motherboard since I reset it into factory defaults. I think that this has happened after upgrading to the latest version of Windows 10!

    PC starts by pressing any key!

    Okay guys ive got a weird prob, my PC starts if i press ANY key on the keyboard!
    I observed this started happening after i recently installed windows 8 PRO.. and yes, i do shut it down and not put it to sleep. Everything else works fine, ive got no other prob at all with Win 8. And yes, it doesn't start with mouse clicks.

    Its quite irritating at times, when im study or doin some other thing on my desk and i accidentally hit a key, and there, it starts up!

    Although its good that i dont have to reach to the power button everything, i dont like this, any solution to fix it?

    There is a setting on the BIOS that lets you turn on your PC with a press of a key.

    Similar to this Power Management Settings - BIOS for Beginners | Tom's Hardware

    wait.. you don't have a main switch on the PC? like an Automatic Voltage Regulator??? If you don't want to turn it on accidently just shut down the main switches or unplug the main cord

    My PC starts after pressing any of keys

    Booting without press any key

    @dhievm go ahead and list the model number that gives exact specs/info.


    Does it stop right at the Toshiba logo and sit there? Will it sit forever til you press a key, or will it eventually work after so long?
