    Prevent wireless mouse from waking PC from hibernation


    Hi

    started using Hibernate mode all the time now, as it’s so much easier to resume work in progress, I am told it doesn’t use any more power than if the PC is shutdown.

    BUT I need to prevent my wireless mouse from waking PC from hibernation. Have turned off option in mouse settings but made no difference.

    thanks

    Hi, don't know if this will help:

    You may also discover more by using the powercfg command (the above gives examples).
    At a command prompt you can of course use
    powercfg /?
    etc to examine options. E.g.

    Already did this, made no difference, maybe because it’s a wireless mouse......going to look in dev manager & see if the mouse is listed as a keyboard...prefer to wake from hibernation with the keyboard, with mouse disabled, as the PC power button is a bit weak and prefer not to use it......

    i don't want to disable hibernate, just want to use the keyboard only and not the mouse, will this achieve that ?
    thanks

    Ok, here's the long version.. from my first link

    This idea may or may not help you.

    Problem: Windows 10 wakes randomly from hibernate

    FIXED
    finally after a month I found a fix

    edit the registry Key
    hkey_local_machine\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon
    and modify PowerdownAfterShutdown and change it to 1

    This fixed my laptop and for the last 2 days it has not turned on by itself

    I think that one of the last 3 updates flipped the PowerdownAfterShutdown to 0
    this caused the shutdown to not fully shutdown causing wake timer, task and other timer to wake the laptop
    this bug has been around since Vista and also windows 7 where an update change the PowerdownAfterShutdown value

    I guess the Microsoft's QC missed this setting

    In troubleshooting this bug it apparent that Microsoft needs better tools for troubleshooting power issues including tasks and wake timers
    Powercfg doesn't list all the timers where powershell does list different timers
    Someone need to look at these tools and make them more better

    Make sure to try the other suggestion in this forum it maybe a combination of this fix and the other suggestion

    Hello

    from reading the various articles, it appeared that aMouse is not a Mouse when it’s a keyboard LOL

    so found two keyboards in DEV manager, disabled the second one & enabled the first in power up PC option and MAGIC.....now my keyboard wakes up my PC & the mouse does nothing, perfect, thanks for all the help....
