    Keyboard inconsistent behavior upon wake from sleep using it


    Symptoms

    • PC will not wake up using keyboard.
    • Keyboard flashes upon key press in sleep.
    • Keyboard starts lighting upon key press in sleep.
    • This occurs only if PC is in sleep for a longer time.


    Details


    As far as I remember on my previous PC was quite common that PC did not wake up from sleep using keyboard key pressure. In that case mouse click worked perfectly all the time. I did not consider that such an issue that time.


    Now I have new computer with new keyboard that has RGB lights. I observe the same behavior as on previous one – after long sleep, PC is unwakeable using keyboard. Keyboard is RGB and it performs some magic upon failed wake. I suppose I would have been observing the same magic on old PC if I have had RGB keyboard that time. Now this issue comes displeasant beyond reasonable limit.


    Is there any solution? What should be cause of this?


    More details


    Keyboard and mouse are both USB cable device. On the other hand old PC keyboard and mouse are one wireless USB set. In both cases mouse works all the time while keyboard not.

    :)

    Sleep Problems - Strange wake up behaviors


    Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I went into my BIOS and neither "MSI Fast Boot" or "Fast Boot" were enabled. I took a few pictures of the BIOS config and of the power-related options, and attached them below.

  3. 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.

    computer wake-up after sleep

    Hi Bill,

    There's a possibility that the settings that enables your Space bar to wake your computer up from sleep was reset after updating Windows. If this what had happened, we suggest that you just re-set it up. See the steps below on how to do
    so:

    • Press Windows key and type keyboard in.
    • Click on Keyboard option and a pop-up windows should show up.
    • From there, go to > Hardware tab > Properties >
      Change settings > Power management > Allow this device to wake the computer >
      OK/Apply.

    Try the if the steps did work and let us know any updates.
