    PC SpecsCannot tick "allow this device to wake computer" - Windows 11 :processor: Ryzen 9 7950X3DInstalled RAM: 64.0 GB 63.1 GB usable GPU: 7900XTXMotherboard: Asrock x870eHi,I have checked for updates, reinstalled drivers and enabled USB wake up in BIOS and spent hours now just trying to find a way to wake my computer up from sleep. In Device Manager, I went to USB Root Hub and reinstallewd these too, but no matter what I just do not have the option to tick: "allow this device to wake computer". It is greyed out. The other box above it "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is tickable. Any fixes for this please?Thanks in advan

  4. Cannot tick "allow this device to wake computer" - Windows 11

    computer wake-up after sleep

    Did all the steps exactly as shown above and "Allow this device to wake the computer" was already selected.

    I think you might have miss-understood the problem. It appears that the computer is waking up, but it doesn't re-connect to my display. I have to turn off the display and turn it back on to get my display to to re-connect. This was not a problem prior to
    the last Win 10 upgrade.
