Windows 10: Unable to prevent USB mouse from waking up Windows/laptop from sleep.

Hi,


I've a brand new Windows 10 laptop Dell


I'm looking for a way to prevent USB mouse from waking up Windows/laptop from sleep.


I'm read some articles on the same, which are suggesting to navigate to device manager and then use the Power Management tab to disable this setting.


However I don't see the Power management tab for the "Mice and other pointing devices".


Would appreciate any pointers to help resolve the issue.


Thanks

:)

 

ASUS Laptop Won't Wake from Sleep Mode

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363
System Manufacturer ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
System Model UX490UAR
System Type x64-based PC
SMBIOS Version 3.0

Problem: about 80% of the time, my laptop won't wake up from sleep mode via keyboard press or mouse move/click. I seem to be missing many common features in power plan too, even after fresh Windows 10 install.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Reinstalled Windows 10 (clean)
2. Updated all drivers
3. Replicated on multiple Windows 10 versions, updates
4. BIOS latest version
5. No USB devices attached, ever. Only USB-C power and bluetooth mouse
6. Disabled "fast startup" in control panel

 

Waking up laptop through USB mouse/keyboard?


I'm giving this a go. The idea is that the computer is turning off power to the USB root hub when it sleeps, to save power, thus preventing a USB keyboard/mouse from communicating with the system, e.g., waking it up. Won't know until tomorrow if it works.

Next day follow up: No, this did not work. The usb keyboard/mouse would not wake up the laptop this morning. Any ideas out there?

 

Using laptop as desktop - can't wake it from sleep with wireless mouse or keyboard.

• I'm having a very difficult time following the narrative in your last five (5) replies.

I've tried to be as clear and concise as possible.

• Have you or have you not installed Avast Free?

I hadn't uninstalled it, only deactivated it; but just now I did uninstall it, then re-booted the laptop, put it to sleep and tried to wake it using the mouse. No luck.

• You just posted: "Just now, I disconnected the mouse, keyboard and monitor; manually put it to sleep using the Start Menu icons (because the lid action is still set to do nothing); closed the lid; and when I opened the lid it woke up."
• So the Notebook PC (laptop) "wakes up" now as long as the external devices (i.e., mouse; keyboard; monitor) are not connected to the ASUS device, is that correct?

Mouse and keyboard connected or disconnected doesn't have any effect on what happens:

- Opening the lid wakes the laptop.

- If the lid is already open and I put the laptop to sleep, pressing the power button wakes up the laptop.

- Lid open or closed, if I put the laptop to sleep and try to wake it using the mouse or keyboard, nothing happens.
