EAC power down feature

This is probably incredibly stupid, but I can't find out how to fix this. I've probably used EAC a thousand times, but...

Somehow I've activated the 'power down' feature which shuts down the computer after extraction (though I'm confused as to how this happened), and I haven't been able turn it off.

In EAC > EAC Options > General I'm given two alternatives, 'Power down computer' or 'Restart computer' when the 'Power Down feature' is activated, but how do I disable the 'Power Down feature'.

Another mysterious thing: allthough the box 'Beep after extraction finished' is unchecked, my computer always makes a beep when the extraction is finished...

I apologize if the solution is all too obvious!

Sounds like you need to format, but you could try when your extracting make sure “shutdown computer after extraction” isn’t ticked. If the problem is still present you could try deleting EAC registry entry’s.

Well, the problem is that EAC only lets me choose between 'Power down computer' and 'Restart computer'. The option of not having any of them doesn't exist, because EAC applies my choice "when using the Power Down feature".

I want to disable the 'Power down feature' completely, but there is no checkbox for that in the General Settings menu. (It must of course be there somewhere, but I can't find it)

If i remember correctly it's in the pop-up window when you extract at the bottom on the left. You can only disable/enable it during the extraction process!
