  1. Wake from sleep only with power button


    Using a Surface Pro 6 with Windows 10 latest update


    I want that it wakes up ONLY when I press the power button. Nothing else.


    Instead, it wakes up when plugging or unplugging the power cable, moving the mouse ever so slightly or pressing a button on the keyboard (both wireless Logitech via USB receiver).


    I tried elevated command prompt "powercfg -devicequery wake_armed" which results in "NONE".


    Device Manager has the "Power Options" removed, it is simply not there.


    It is pure pain and frustration. Should this not be very simple?

    :)

  2. wake from sleep issue in windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your reply. Apologize for the delay in response.

    I suggest you to check which devices are configured to wake up the computer from sleep by following the steps below:

    • Right click on Start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type the command line below:
    Powercfg /devicequery wake_armed

    3. Check if the devices (Keyboard, Mouse, Ethernet cable) are listed.

    If the system is not going to sleep and going to Hybernate, the only option to wake up is to press the Power button.

    Hope the information is helpful.
