Since yesterday I can't turn my computer on by depressing a key on the keyboard.
Previously when I typed "shut down" the computer shut.
And then to revive it I depressed a key on the keyboard.
I have to use the computer's on/off button to do that now. No big deal but wonder if I can get the old functionality back.
Just used to it.
Thanks very much.
Is this setting enabled?
1) Search for, and open, Device Manager
2) Expand Keyboards
3) Double click on the keyboard there
4) Click the Power Management tab
5) Is Allow this device to wake the computer already checked?
Bingo! Thanks very much.
Latest update must have changed the setting
You're welcome.
You should double check to see if that solution works, if you haven't already.
Enable that option from above, shut down your computer, and then try pressing a keyboard key to wake it back up.
That's only for waking up computer out of sleep or hibernation, for real start from complete shutdown you must enable that feature from BIOS if available.
