Light on Multi Card Reader Remains "on"

Hello,

I have the below multi-card reader installed with my computer.

I upgraded Windows 7 to 10 last night. I then shutdown after exploring windows 10 for a bit, and the blue LED on the front of the multi-card reader remained illuminated after the computer powered down. This has not happened in the past, and I imagine based on the timing it might be a feature of Windows 10 to power USB ports or something while the computer is off.

I would like any input as to an explanation of what is going on, and possible ways to turn off the LED. I know I could cover it with some tape, but I like to know what is happening.

Here is my setup as best I know it. It has been awhile since I built my computer, and I am at work and cannot access my computer.

That is all I can find.

Thanks.
 
There is likely a BIOS setting to disable it. Mine's been that way a long time. I'll fiddle with it this evening and see if I can find the setting.

It's going to be under APM if it's there.

ASUS calls it "EUP". Not sure what ASROCk calls it.
 
Thank you so much. I was able to get it to turn off when the computer is powered down. It was a deep sleep setting enabling S4/S5 on my board. Your suggestions were perfect and I was able to figure it out as a result of them.

Thanks.
