I am using Windows 10 and would like to use my mouse to wake it up when in sleep mode


It would be appreciated if someone can kindly assist me

waking laptop from sleep

i have noticed my laptop doesnt wake up from sleep using the keyboard or the mouse , only the power button button wakes it up, i used to have another laptop that would wake up using any button from the keyboard, how to resolve this ?

 

Lenovo ideapad 100S will not resume from sleep mode.

Hi Michael,

Pressing a key on the keyboard or tapping on the mouse pad wakes the laptop from sleep. However, if it won't wake up, there are several ways to wake it up:

• Press the power or sleep button to wake it up.
• Close the lid of the laptop and open it again.

Hello,

This is the method I use to achieve what you want.
1. Open Device Manager from a right click on the start button.
2. Find the mouse driver and double click it to open properties
3. Go to the Power management tab and tick allow this device to wake the computer

 

Thanks for the reply. On Windows 10 , there is no tab for Power management-see attached screen shot

 

But your Device manager shows 2 drivers are installed, which one is being used? Does the other one have a Power management tab?

 

Agree with philc43 as BOTH of my mouse drivers have the Power Management Tab.....*Smile

 

For some unknown reason both my mouse drivers do not have the power management drive. Surely this should be standard with Windows 10

 

Yes your correct, you could try uninstalling both mouse drivers, then re-install drivers to see if that changes your options.

 

Just had to do exactly that with my Logitech mouse. Power Management is back...
