I don't know how to stop it. The activity light on the plug of my Ethernet cable plugged into the back of my motherboard blinks when the PC is OFF. Not hybernate, not sleep... OFF.
Windows 10 64.
In Windows 7 64, you can simply solve this by going to the advance tab of the Local Area Connection, turn off Wake on Lan or Wake on ??.. just disable it.
Win 10
Advance tab :
Wake on Magic Packet - Disabled
Wake on Pattern Match - Disabled
Power Management tab:
Allow This Device To Wake Computer - Unchecked
I still get the blinking light. It never did this in Win 7 after I did these disables and unchecking.
I have never had to adjust anything in BIOS either.
- Another thing I noticed... my bluetooth dongle is blinking when PC is off. That also never did that. I use a small Bluetooth USB dongle to hear my JBL Flip 4 play. That dongle always was off in Win 7.
If I unplug that, turn off the PC... the Ethernet cable still blinks behind the PC.
I'm about to revert back to Win 7.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.
PS
Only other thing I can think of is Router firmware change? Recent Asus router firmware? The last two firmwares in the past 4 months?
