Logitech M510 Mouse Keeps Waking Up Computer

Hi,

It's always good to preserve your device's power by putting it on sleep mode. If your mouse is waking up the device, we suggest following the steps below as another workaround:

• Press Windows Key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
• Once Command Prompt window opens, enter the following command: powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
• You should be able to see the list of all devices that are allowed to wake up your computer. Enter
  powercfg -devicedisablewake “device name” into Command Prompt to stop a device from waking up your PC. Remember to
  replace “device name” with a name of the actual device. It’s also important to keep the quotation marks, so do not delete them.
• You can also use powercfg -deviceenablewake “device name” command to enable certain device to wake up your PC, but it is optional. You can find the name of the specific device by using the Device Manager.

Keep us in the loop with the result.

I had already set the network driver (Nvidia) to not wake. At your suggestion, In power options I changed the Allow wake timers setting to Disable. Sorry to report, the mouse still wakes the computer. I do appreciate your help.
