  1. How Do I set Windows 11 Desktop to startup with keyboard after power down


    I have 2 Win 11 desktop computers. The one will start after shutdown by touching the keyboard. The optical mouse light is always on, unless the computer has been totally shut down by turning off the UPS. Either way on the one computer the keyboard turns the computer back on. It also turns on with the case power button, The second computer uses the same model keyboard and the same model motherboard and the same version of Win 11. I can not get the second computer to start with the keyboard - only the power on button on the case. How can I set the second one to start with the keyboard also.

    :)
