C'est very bothersome to work avec my Windows 10 laptop when il y a a constant light flashing in my face. Existe-t-il un moyen de either edit le registre or the BIOS to stop the disque dur activity light from flashing?
I own a Dell Inspiron 5000 Series avec an Intel Core i5 if that helps.
Comment désactiver my ordinateur's HDD LED?
Re: Comment désactiver my ordinateur's HDD LED?
**TL;DR** Tape over it.
Disregarding whether that's a good idea or not*, the easiest way to 'désactiver' the LED is most likely to open up your laptop case and unplug the LED ribbon cable. Barring that as a possibility, the next most practical solution serait place tape (or an aesthetically pleasing sticker) over the LED.
While it may be theoretically possible to modify chip firmware somewhere sur votre motherboard to désactiver the LED, there ne va pas be any easy way to do so in a logiciel setting expressly *parce que* the engineers designing ordinateurs, for various reasons* believe that to be a bad idea.

The light serves one major purpose. Telling you when the HDD is being
read or written too. That can allow you to quickly determine whether a
"hang/lockup" is really a lockup and not just a temp. slowdown due to
heavy HDD access.
