Possible solutions:

1. Disable Wake on USB.

Go to BIOS → Advanced → Device Configurations, and uncheck Wake on USB.

1. Disable Wake-On-Lan in BIOS.

Go to BIOS → Advanced → Built-in Device Options, and set Wake on LAN to Disable.

1. In BIOS, uncheck / disable any setting with the word wake in it.

Missing INSERT key (and others)

Some keys are hidden [3]:

FN+R = Break
FN+S = Sys Rq
FN+C = Scroll Lock
FN+E = Insert
FN+W = Pause

So CRTL ALT INSERT would be : CTRL+ALT+FN + E
