Windows 10: Laptop's keyboard lacks "Power Management" tab in device manager

My laptop's keyboard isn't waking up the laptop from sleep.
I went to device manager and right-clicked the laptop's keyboard which is marked as "Standard PS/2 Keyboard" (And not HID Keyboard Device - like my wireless USB keyboard), then Properties, but it doesn't have the Power Management tab like the wireless keyboard. So I can't tick the "Allow this device to wake up the computer".

Is there a way to fix that?

thanks

Power Management Tab in Device Manager

Hi, some other ideas:

Please see both #68 (the fix you've tried) and in particular the comment in #69 here:
Allow or Prevent Devices to Wake Computer in Windows 10

One such thread suggested an old ethernet drive could give rise to the tab missing.

Another suggested:

Some threads suggest that anything preventing sleep may conflict with this.

Is the device allowed to wake the PC?

Mouse/touch pad and keyboard wakes laptop up and power management tab missing?

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

As per the description, I understand that you are trying to disable keyboard and touchpad to wake the computer from sleep.

As you are missing the Power Management tab in driver properties, I suggest you to follow the steps provided below and update the keyboard and touchpad drivers.

To update keyboard drivers,

• Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
• Expand ‘Keyboard’ from the list.
• Right click on the driver and select ‘update driver software’.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to update the driver.

To update touchpad drivers,

• Type Device Manager in the Search box and press Enter.
• Expand Mice and other pointing devices.
• Right Click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to update the driver.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

 

Power management tab missing in keyboard properties

I checked on my Acer laptop, and I too do not have the Power Management tab in device manager. Does your keyboard show up as "Standard ps/2 keyboard" too?
