I have an HP PC, that is running Windows. After a power loss, the computer turns back on, and I want to disable it.
I tried the BIOS, and the setting of "After Power Loss" is already Off
(see image). I also tried changing that setting to On but that still made the computer turn on after a power loss.
How can I set my computer to not automatically power on after a power loss?
EDIT:
- BIOS updated to latest version
- Boot after power loss:
Off
- Network boot:
Off
- Boot after power loss:
- Replaced the CMOS battery
- Tested even with no USB devices, just VGA and Power
Testing fashion: Turn on, pull the power cord, plug the power cord. Wait 2 seconds, then it boots again.
Still no luck.
Edit 2
If I unplug while running, then wait 5 minutes, then plug again, it does not boot until I press the boot button. What is going on?
