Computer Turning On By A Mouse Click

[MrHumbleification]

Hello!
So my question is pretty straight forward. My computer after complete shut down from Windows turns back on by my mouse click. No keyboard strokes, and no mouse movement. Just a mouse click. I would like to ask whats causing this to happen and step by step solutions to fix this. Thanks!

My Build:
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LK
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770k
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB
Power Supply: Corsair GS600 600 Watts
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Graphics Card: Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660

Why are you clicking your mouse after you turned off your PC?

I accidentally clicked it and then it turned on. :/

Go to device manager from computer properties. Open the power management settings for the mouse. Disable 'allow to wake PC'

I did exactly that and it did not work.

Also, after I shut down my PC, I usually turn off the power surge protector. When I turn it back on (the power surge protector), clicking the mouse does not turn on the PC. But if I shutdown my PC without turning off the power surge protector, by clicking the mouse, it turns on.

Oh, sorry, I mis-read that as sleep for some reason, not a complete shut-down.

In your motherboard BIOS settings, go to the advanced tab and turn off 'Power on by PS2/Keyboard' (3-24) \

I went into the BIOS and went to advanced tab, however there was no option for disabling the keyboard. Also its the mouse thats turning on my PC not the keyboard. :/

I use Windows 10 btw

Also, is being able to turn on the computer with a mouse click a feature or an option? Is this normal? Is it a Windows 10 thing?

It's a BIOS setting somewhere; perhaps you have a different version than in the manual. Try resetting all BIOS options back to defaults if you can't find it.

I reset everything back to defaults in basic and advanced. It still does not show up.Since it is a BIOS setting it shouldnt be too much of a problem for my PC really? Because I usually shut off the power after i shut it down.
