USB-attached mouse no longer wakes Windows
Two days ago my USB-attached mouse lost the ability to wake a sleeping Windows. Once Windows is awake the mouse works normally. I tried plugging a different mouse into a different USB port and it, too, fails to wake Windows. The Device Manager show that both mice have "Allow this device to wake the computer" selected. My keyboard can wake Windows but it's a very old PS/2-attched keyboard so that doesn't prove much. The mouse is a Logitech M500 but I'm using a "HID-compliant mouse" driver rather than the driver that comes with the Logitech Setpoint software because I didn't want or need anything Setpoint provided. The mouse has worked fine with driver for years with Win7 and Win10. I installed KB4055254 around the time the behavior changed. I don't see any obvious connection ... if the description given by Microsoft is accurate. I guess I could try uninstalling it. Any other things I can try to diagnose and/or fix this problem? This is obviously not a disastrous situation but I don't like it when even small things happen without obvious cause.
