Windows 10: Cannot Disable the "Allow device to wake computer" !!! -- Windows 10

Just to preface... This was working for me just fine for the last 3 years, until I recently got a new desk and had my computer unplugged for a few days.


I am using the Razer Chroma mouse and keyboard with the latest Razer firmware... I have gone into the Device Manage and unchecked the box "Allow this device to wake the computer" for both the mouse and keyboard. Have restarted the computer multiple times as well. Every time I move the mouse when the computer is sleeping it wakes up.


I need it to only wake up when I push the power button... Like I used to have it set to do.


Please help !!!

Allow or Prevent Devices to Wake Computer in Windows 10  


Hi! I too have an ASUS (UX360UAK) laptop. The power button is annoyingly on the side and rather inconvenient to push down every time I want to wake my laptop, and hitting a keyboard button won't wake it from sleep either.

I've gone into device management-->keyboards-->power management. In device management there are three keyboards: a PC/AT Enhanced PS/2 (101/102-Key), and two HID Keyboard Devices. I'm not sure which one of these is the physical keyboard, but only the only one that has a Power Management tab is one of the HID Keyboard Device's so I'm assuming it's this one. In Power Management, Allow this device to wake the computer is CHECKED/ENABLED but still keyboard won't wake my laptop from sleep.

I've completed the BIOS instruction too, and HID Keyboard Device (001) is listed and enabled (See pic)





I've also tried entering this command: powercfg -deviceenablewake "HID Keyboard Device (002)" and it doesn't work I get the following:
C:\Users\Mahsa>powercfg -deviceenablewake "HID Keyboard Device (002)"Unable to perform operation. An unexpected error (0x490) has occurred: Element not found.
