My Computer keeps immediately turning back on after a full shutdown after plugging in a USB 3.0 PCIE accessory

This issue has been plaguing me for a while now, and trying to find a solution has been a nightmare.
So basically, about 2 months ago I bought a PCIE accessory to add some USB 3.0 Slots to my rig as I needed more 3.0 slots. I noticed that after plugging in the accessory, my computer wouldn't shut down anymore. If I try and shut it down from within the computer in any way, it just boots back up immediately. The only way I'm able to turn it off is by holding down the power button for a few seconds, which is an issue especially being that I tend to shut my computer off remotely when streaming to my steam deck.
I've tried turning off fast startup mode in windows, doing that initially just caused my system to fail to boot and it reset my BIOS. The setting is still off after getting back in, and my computer is booting fine, but the issue at hand is still happening. I also tried to enable ErP on my motherboard and that also did nothing for me.
Really trying anything I can to keep the USB slots, is there anything else I can tinker with to get this to stop happening?

What accessory are you talking about? I saw an option in my motherboard's BIOS that allows the mouse or keyboard to turn on the PC. I haven't tried it, but maybe you should look for something similar in your BIOS and disable it.

Yeah, i tried this out, that's what i read ErP was in the BIOS. I set everything in BIOS to not wake on anything, and it was still booting up on shutdown. :/ appreciate the suggestion

Did you find a fix yet? Im having this issue with a wifi card and i disabled all the things that have to do with the wake on lan stuff

I have this exact issue. I see a year has passed and wonder if a solution was found

3 months later, and here I am now with this problem, can't solve it either.

Go into Device Manager, go into the Properties and toggle the setting the setting that allows the device to wake the computer. It's likely the hub, but you may also have to do it for the added ports/accessories.

When i went to the Device Manager, it didn't give me the option to do anything with that box. The check box was just grayed out, along with all of its ports' check boxes.

Why are you talking like it's a sex toy? Just tell us what you plugging in.

Sorry man, I'm not super well versed in alot of this, it's USB 3.0 ports that plugs in with PCIE

Go into your BIOS and look for "wake on" options, and disable all of them. This mysterious "PCIe accessory" is probably generating a wake signal when it shouldn't be.
