Windows 10 Shut down/ Restart issues

[Sabrewings]

After several days of working fine, my main rig has taken it upon itself to turning back on about 5 seconds after power down. This is with Windows 10 and I never had this issue on Windows 7.

Things I've tried:

Disable the "automatically reboot" option in case of a crash under the idea that it was crashing just before finishing shutdown.

See this:

Change a registry key that can have these symptoms:

I've also gone through the BIOS options to see if I was missing something (I did reset the whole BIOS when as part of my troubleshooting during my Win 10 install).

I plan to look into chipset drivers today to fix it. Anything else I should look at? My last resort will be a fresh BIOS reset. After that I might reapply my Win 7 image to see if it is indeed a software problem.

I can almost guarantee you it's a driver issue. EVGA doesn't have a new chipset (or any that I see) driver for your board that officially supports 10, so you might just have to wait for the update.

They do have a Beta BIOS that adds 10 support, but I would be hesitant to tell you to flash a Beta bios.

You may want to call and see if they can send you a driver directly.

Thanks, pal. I'll call or email them later. I'm at work so sometimes my ability to do research is a bit limited. Cheers. I'll see where I can get with it.

I think I have it figured out. *knock on wood*

I think it had something to do with the driver Windows 10 loaded for a USB 3.0 PCIe card I have. The card is made by Anker and uses a VIA controller. I went to the Anker website and downloaded their driver (older than the one Windows 10 installed) and it works just fine now. Weird that that would cause it to not stay off.

Good. I was hoping it was just a driver.

You were spot on. I'm glad I went through device manager a bit closer because I think I have a much more specific and accurate driver install than what Windows 10 set me up with at the start. It hasn't over-ridden any of my new updates after several restarts. So far the "don't deliver drivers over windows update" option is working for me.

Well one of my desktops just won't shutdown have to press power a few seconds, the display shutdown alright ,did the win10 reset but no avail, well my solution and a good one, put back the Hard drive with Ubuntu 14.04,and now everything working as it should be

How would a driver have any effect on a PC that's off?

My guess is that the driver could have sent a command to the USB controller that tricked it into waking the PC via PCIe. That's all I can think of. The funny thing is that nothing is connected to that controller at the moment. All I ever plug up to it is my X52 Pro because they don't play well with Z87/Z97 chipsets for some weird reason.
