    Must press PC power button to wake from sleep.


    My Dell Inspiron 3670 Windows 11 desktop has recently required pressing the power button to wake from sleep no matter how the sleep mode had been initiated. Power management at Device Manager for keyboard and mouse are checked to allow device to wake the computer.There have been no program additions or changes to the PC and no new apps.I have run chkdsk/f r and DISM and they show no problems.

    PC waking from sleep because power button was pressed except it wasn't

    My PC sometimes wakes from sleep, sometimes seconds after being put to sleep without me doing anything. I got the following information from the PowerShell:

    Code:
    Is it telling me that Windows thinks the power button was pressed? Because I certainly didn't (I was the only person in the room when it happened). Could some kind of electrical interference be getting detected by the motherboard through the power button wiring, causing the PC to wake? It's kind of annoying.

    PC waking from sleep because power button was pressed except it wasn't

    Hello @THX1138,

    I put this together for something that I was doing but you might find the information it produces [ text file on the desktop ] helpful. It contains the items that wake the PC etc etc . . .

    I hope this helps!
