Windows 10: Why is my new USB keyboard waking my PC?

I recently connected this keyboard and when I put the PC to sleep - either manually or by timer, after a few seconds it wakes up again.

I have gone to the tick boxes to stop the keyboard having control over power and that's worked, but I'd like to be able to actually USE the power and sleep keys on the keyboard.

Does anyone know why it would be waking the PC up on it's own?

Keyboard waking desktop PC

I would walk down the list of USB devices in Device Manager and disable them all from being able to wake up the PC until it stops waking up by USB, then you can start enabling and taking notes to find the culprit *Wink See my post in your other thread too.

 

Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard not waking PC up

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard doesn’t wake the computer from sleep or hibernate. I’ll certainly help you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

• Are you able to wake the computer using any other keyboard?
  
• What is the complete model number of the Microsoft keyboard?
  

I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article
Troubleshoot problems waking computer from sleep mode.



Note: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems
resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.



You can also try running the power troubleshooter and check if that helps.
Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows logo key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Update & Security, and select
   Troubleshoot from the left pane.
   
3. Scroll down, look for Power troubleshooter, click on it and select
   Run the troubleshooter.
   
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
   

Let us know how it goes.

Mouse/Keyboard won't wake PC


I have a Logitech wireless keyboard, and it works perfectly with it.

I have checked "Allow the computer to turn off this device" with all my USB hubs. And set the wake up part with my Keyboard en Mouse.


Something else you could try is:

• Win-x -> o (Power Options)
• Change plan settings
• Change advanced power settings
• USB settings -> USB selective suspend setting -> Set to Disable

See if this helps. On my system, it is enabled, but I heard that some devices/drivers have a problem with this.
