Power On Mouse won't work anymore

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi there, I have a small but annoying problem which I hope you can help me with.

I upgraded my Windows 7 64 bit to Windows 10 a few days ago and upgraded
 my UEFI and mainboard (ASrock H97 Pro4) drivers on the occasion because
 there were new versions for Win10.

Until then, I used to be able to power up my computer from shutdown (not
 sleep, hibernation, standby or anything) by clicking a mouse button; 
the corresponding setting in the UEFI ("USB Mouse Power On") was set to 
enabled and it still is.

Now the only way to power on the computer is the power button. I can 
still wake the computer up from hibernation, sleep etc. via mouse click 
("Allow this device to wake the computer" in mouse properties is 
enabled).

I suspect Windows respectively the Windows upgrade is not to blame 
because when trying to power up the computer after shutdown Windows is 
not yet loaded.

But can anyone tell me how I can again use the mouse to power up?

	In the meantime I found out that the problem is related to the "Turn on fast startup" setting of Windows 10. If it is deactivated, I can use my USB mouse to power the computer on from shutdown. If it is activated, that does not work. I would like to keep fast startup enabled because that decreases my boot time from 60+ seconds to about 15-20. Does anyone know how to achieve that?
