My (brand new) ASUS BIOS boots my machine when I press my (PS/2) keyboard, and I want to get rid of this "feature," but I can't seem to find a setting for it in the BIOS menus. Can it be done?

The motherboard is an ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC., Z97-P, Rev X.0x.

(I'm running Windows 10 btw, but I doubt that makes any difference. Yes, I'm shutting down, not hybernating. Both states will boot on keypress.)

  • What motherboard do you have? The setting should be in your BIOS settings, probably under boot options.

    It looks like your PC is just waking-up! Are you sure you shut it down rather then hibernate it?

Have you checked these parts of your bios?
Advanced-->USB configuration-->EHCI hand-off-->Disabled
APM Configuration-->Power on By/PS2 Keyboard-->Disabled
APM Configuration-->Power on By/PS2 Mouse-->Disabled

Windows 10 has a 'hybrid shutdown' feature which could be part of the reason this is happening. However my first guess would be a bios setting. If the bios settings are not enabled to boot by keyboard, try shutting down your computer in an Admin Command Prompt with shutdown /p to see if your computer still boots when pressing the keyboard.
