How can I bootup Windows 10 without a keyboard and mouse plugged in? Something in BIOS?
Also, how to enable on powerless, turn back on (when the power comes back on, turn automatically on without pressing the actual power button"?
Lastly, how to disable Windows updates?
I'll be connecting this computer to a router with SIM card for network connection, so I don't want Windows 10 updates to happen.
Regarding to the question about the turn on PC when the power come back
You can just turn on Restore AC Power Loss option base on your Bios model. You can check this video for more information

When you reset your computer to the factory. it will take several minutes to clear all the data after that there will be a pop up A Configuration Change was Requested to Clear TPM with options as Yes and No, in My case my keyboard that is on my laptop was not working from the start and I didn't think before resetting the computer about that. so now I am stuck at this blue window and question.
For My problem, I connected an external keyboard but that was not working along with my Bluetooth one. the trick was to click the power button of the laptop for serval minutes which will give a satisfying shutting-off sound after that connect your wired keyboard and start the laptop normally now you can use your wired keyboard. took me hours to figure that out.
I'm trying to establish a connection between my PC running Ubuntu and my iPhone via Bluetooth automatically when it becomes available, after being manually paired beforehand. I've seen this to be possible with certain peripherals, mainly audio. For example, my phone will automatically connect to a Bluetooth speaker when it is turned on and Bluetooth is active on my phone; another example is my phone automatically connects to my car's radio system via Bluetooth when I turn the car on.
I'm not able to connect my phone to my PC without first initiating the connection from the smartphone's Bluetooth menu. I'm thinking that I could possibly write an application for the PC to attempt to connect to the device every few minutes or something, but it seems that the phone needs to be the device to initiate the connection.
The only information that I need for what I'm trying to do ultimately is that the devices can pair successfully. Essentially I'm trying to build a sort of proximity trigger between my phone and my PC without using Wi-Fi and GPS - I can't use these for some specific reasons.
Is there any way to make this happen?
Yes this should be doable as long as you use the Background Processing feature for iOS apps. In the example I'll give below, we'll have the PC be the peripheral and the phone be the central, but you can really have it working either way. You will need to do the following:-
First initial connection needs to be performed in the foreground (this is due to iOS's background limitations).
On the iOS side, you need an application that acts as a central that scans and connects to the remove device (check this example as a starting point).
Upon connection, you need to bond with the PC. Bonding is important as it will prevent you from having to do the pairing again in the future. However, pairing/bonding is managed by the iPhone's OS so you cannot write it in your application, so the workaround is to have an encrypted characteristic on the PC side that will force the iPhone to bond (this is covered later).
On the PC side, you need to have a BlueZ script that acts as a peripheral that is always advertising. You can do this using bluetoothctl (check the examples here and here).
Before you start advertising, you need to have a GATT server on the PC side (to do this, check this example).
When registering characteristics, ensure that one of them has the encrypt-read property (you can find a full list of the properties here).
Now when you attempt to read this characteristic from the iOS side, the two devices should bond (make sure that your PC is bondable which you can do this via these commands).
Once the devices are paired, your iOS app needs to be working in the background constantly scanning and attempting to connect to the same peripheral (have a look at this and this example).

I have a HoloLens, and I want to interact with the API's. Unfortunatetly, it keeps going into standby mode, even when plugged in. This means I have to wear the HoloLens like a hat to keep it on. Even though I'm not trying to physically use it.
Is there anyway to keep it out of standby mode when it is plugged in?
You can set the behavior when plugged if you enter the Device Portal (enter the IP of your device in a web browser).
I have some starter kit board based on Atmel ARM926 400MH. Powered by linux.
And I need to control power of USB, i.e. switch it off and switch it off.
I try to research for use sysfs, but there is no information about switching on/off.
You either can’t control USB power, or the OS will control it for you. As noted in this comment, “... users shouldn't be conscious of this layer.”
Port power might be hardwired to be always present, but more often hardware allows control by the driver. One example I’ve seen, host port through a 3320 USB PHY should have port power automatically enabled by CPEN output.
This area was enhanced with runtime power management framework introduced in 2.6.32 kernel. Details can depend on SoC and specific board support. New features can allow user space control to prevent auto suspend and resulting powerdown; otherwise, by default, USB should power down in suspend modes.

I asked this same question a few months ago, but I've run into another roadblock and I'm hoping someone will have a flash of insight. The is the previous thread: Detecting if the monitor is powered off
I'm trying to figure out the power status of a monitor, in particular a TV that is plugged in via HDMI. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with nVidia ION video cards. These PCs will be running some digital signage and I need to make sure the power is on to the TV during business hours. I have a working Python script controlling an IR transmitter to turn the TV off and on. The last piece of the puzzle is to know the current state of the TV.
In my previous thread, I found I could use ddccontrol to get information from the monitor. That worked great for a traditional Asus monitor plugged in via HDMI. However, the Vizio TV says it doesn't support DDC.
I've also tried using get-edid to get live resolution and color information, but that fails to return any information from the TV.
I've tried udevadm monitor but an event only fires on the initial monitor plugin.
I have a feeling that the nVidia drivers are blocking these calls to the monitor, but I can't confirm that.
Ultimately, all I'm looking for is a single byte of information that changes when the monitor turns off.
EDIT: So, I'm coming to the conclusion that this may not be possible. At least not consistently possible across various combinations of video cards and monitors/TVs. The next idea I have is to monitor power usage on an outlet. I first looked at Kill A Watts, but they are completely stand alone. After several hours of searching, I came across Digi and their XBee radios. I ordered one of XBee's Smart Plugs from Digi and a XBee radio and USB adapter from Spark Fun. My current plan is to use a Python script that polls the Smart Plug for power usage.
The plug and radio were kind of expensive. Does anybody know of a power meter that plugs in? Everything I found was wireless. I'd like to be able to connect to it via USB, ethernet, or serial.
EDIT 2:
I could never get the XBee plug to work. It's incredibly difficult to configure the plug unless you buy one of Digi's gateways.
I ended up building my own current sensor. It's Arduino based and cost about $60 in parts. I wrote about it here: http://trafficlightads.net/2011/09/06/an-arduino-current-sensor/
I have a couple of Watts up? .Net models that have USB and Ethernet for monitoring devices and controlling devices. The .Net model adds Ethernet and an internal relay to turn the attached device on and off. This could be used to eliminate the possibility of IR being blocked and not being able to transition the state of the TV.
Watts up? .Net Product Link
They aren't cheap, but they are well-built. I recommend getting the international model if you want the most flexibility in outlet type. This allows you to use your own in and out cords. In the USA model the input cord is hard-wired/integrated.
Good luck.
