Windows 10: Wake up laptop with external keyboard/mouse whilst it is in hibernate or it shut down

Hi Guys, is there a way to wake up a laptop with external keyboard/mouse whilst it is in hibernate mode or off?

Keyboard/mouse now wakes my computer from hibernate

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding of hibernation was that it can only be turned back on by pressing the power button and couldn't be woken up by mouse/keyboard. My old computer and my laptop acts this way. I've just built a new computer and
noticed that it wakes from hibernation from both the keyboard and mouse. Is this a new feature? If so, is there a way to undo this?

I thought perhaps the issue was with hybrid sleep being selected, but I turned it off and it still wakes from hibernation so that wasn't it. USB selective suspending is also enabled so when it's in hibernation, it should be suspending my keyboard/mouse
but apparently it's still monitoring those signals.

I don't want to un-check "allow this device to wake the computer" because I still want to be able to wake my computer from sleep using my mouse/keyboard. But when I'm in hibernation, I want it to act like it's off and ignore mouse/keyboard inputs. There
should be a way to do this, right? This was how my old computer acted so I would hope so...

 

Hibernate waking up on mouse movement

i decided to test if hibernate would startup similar to shutdown (semi recently fan is being loud after semi long use, sleep is like it not turning off at all but shutdown it stays quiet longer, seeing if it would be quiet in hibernate like shutdown) but
for some reason when i move my mouse it wakes it up...

when its in sleep id expect that mouse/keyboard signals to wake it up but when i hibernate id expect it to be a requirement for me to press the power button to start it again...

only noticeable difference between them is that the power button blinks when its in sleep mode and in hibernate it shows the initial screen with the F2 for bios thing... no other noticeable changes...

does anyone know why it acts this way? from memory it went into hibernate and required the power button to be hit but not sure

EDIT: just for usefulness: im on an acer pc (not laptop) and bios mode is uefi

EDIT 2: fixing it means that sleep doesnt get affected (aka still wakes up by external source like mouse movement) while hibernate does (not waking up by external changes other than hitting the power button) as both options are useful for me

 

Windows 10 | External USB Keyboard not working after Hibernate

I'm using an Acer Laptop with Windows 10 v1909 (OS Build 18363.720). My issue is whenever I put my laptop in Hibernate, the external USB Keyboard (A4Tech) will stop working. The External USB Mouse works fine but not the keyboard and I can replicate this
issue every time I put the laptop on Hibernate. I have tried re-installing the USB port driver and Keyboard (HID Keyboard Device) driver and make sure the power management option "Allow this device to wake the computer" is ticked. This issue happens even if
I am using other USB ports. I have another identical laptop and this issue is not happening there. When restarting the PC or putting it on sleep, I cannot replicate the issue, it's just when I put it on Hibernate. Any other steps that you may recommend?
