How To Prevent Mouse/Keyboard From Waking Windows
Posted May 24, 2010 – 5:31 pm in: Windows 7 GuidesI always use Sleep and Hibernate features available in Windows. In fact, I use Hibernate feature most of time so that I can quickly resume my work. Although Hibernate feature is not enabled on many machines by default, one can enable it by following our how to enable/disable hibernate feature in Windows 7 guide.
When the computer is in Sleep state, you can always wake it by moving your mouse or pressing a keyboard button. But, if you have a cluttered work space, you might want to prevent mouse/keyboard from waking up your computer as even an accidental mouse movement wakes up the computer.
So, here is a simple trick to prevent mouse/keyboard from waking up your computer from Sleep mode:
1. Open Device Manger by typing either devmgmt.msc or device manager in Start menu search area and then hitting enter.
2. In the list of hardware categories, find the keyboard or mouse that you want to prevent from waking your computer.
3. Double-click on the entry see the Properties dialog box.
4. Switch to Power Management tab and uncheck the option named Allow this device to wake the computer.
5. Click Ok, and you are done!
Please note that this feature is not supported by all hardware manufactures.
