    surface pro 8 power management tab missing


    Hello,I have a surface pro 8 with windows 11 OS installed on default settings, brand new device not more than 2 weeks old. I'm trying to stop my device from turning on during sleep through accidental key presses, movement on the touch screen interface and other usb devices. I have looked online and seen there's a way to switch off "Allow this device to wake the computer". It is located in device manager and selecting the devices e.g. keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, and selecting properties to reach the "Power Management Tab".The tab is however missing from my device. Please advise how I can stop

    :)

    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:
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...1-7cd9a4fe035f

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

    Is the device allowed to wake the PC?

  3. Power Management Tab is missing from Device Manager for Bluetooth and other devices

    Exact same problem on a new Dell i7 1809 Update to Win10 Pro. I want, very much, to use the mouse to wake up the computer from "sleep" but there's NO power management tab to enable this option. Microsoft tech support was not able to help. I bought it
    from CostCo so I might just return it.

    The power management tab is available on all the other PCs in our network!!!

    If anyone has a way to restore this tab, please help us.

    Problem updating Windows Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 feature updates

    Hi,

    I have manage to install image for Microsoft Surface Pro 4 by going to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...erecoveryimage and download a recovery image for Microsoft Surface Pro 4.

    What I did to reset your Surface from a USB recovery drive was:
    Step 1: Make sure your Surface is turned off and plugged in (hold down the power
    button for 30 seconds).
    Step 2: Insert the USB recovery drive into the USB port on your Surface.
    Step 3: Press and hold the volume-down button while you press and release the
    power button on your Surface.
    Step 4: When the Surface logo appears, release the volume button.
    Step 5: When prompted, select the language and keyboard layout you want.
    Step 6: Select Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.
    If prompted for a recovery key, select Skip this drive at the bottom of the
    screen.
    Step 7: Select the target operating system you wish to reset. This
    refers to the current operating system installed on your Surface.
    Step 8: Select Yes, repartition the drives, and on the next page, select Next.
    Step 9: Choose Just remove my files.
    Step 10: Select Reset.
    Surface restarts and the Surface logo displays while the reset process continues
    (this can take a while).

    This always fails and I have to do the below which continues installation.
    Windows 10 Installation Media:

    1. Insert the Media (DVD/USB) in your PC and restart.
    2. Boot from the media.
    3. Select Repair Your Computer.
    Select Troubleshoot.

    1. Choose Command Prompt from the menu:
    Type in the command:
    Diskpart
    Type in the command:
    List disk (Note which disk is your Boot drive number mine is 0)
    Type in the command:
    Sel disk 0
    Type in the command:
    List vol (Note which volume is the EFI partition mine is 4)
    Type in the command:
    Sel vol 4
    Type in the command:
    assign letter=V:
    Type in the command:
    Exit
    Type in the command:
    V:
    After you have assigned a drive letter Using Diskpart You can format the EFI partition:
    Example: if you assigned a letter V to the partition the command would be:
    format V: /FS:FAT32
    Type in the command:
    bcdboot C:\windows /s V: /f UEFI


    Now I have an issue that I cannot install Feature Updates. They keep failing to install.
    Any ideas how to resolve issue?
