Windows wireless mouse wakes up computer from sleep?

by nolovelust 21. March 2010 22:16

I just bought a wireless mouse for my computer. Everything is fine but a small touch to the mouse wakes up computer from the sleep mode and i don't like it.

First thing i did was to go to Device manager and change power options of mouse so it wouldn't wake computer up. Unfortunately, to my surprise it didn't work.

After fiddling with powercfg command line i noticed that my mouses usb receiver was also registered as a keyboard!

I believe reason for that is that i can also use same brand wireless keyboard with same receiver.

 

To stop my mouse waking up my computer from sleep I've had to disable "Allow this device to wake computer up" option for HID keyboard device under Keyboard section on Device manager.

Thank you so much for sharing! This was exactly the information I was looking for (and it worked).

I had already disabled "allow this device to wake" from my new keyboard, but I didn't know the receiver would double as a mouse. Laughing
Cheers!
