Keyboard and mouse cannot wake the computer after sleep

My new computer (windows 10) cannot wake from sleep by keyboard or mouse, despite that in device management the keyboard and mouse are allowed to wake the computer. The drivers are up-to-date. Only the power button wakes the pc after sleep. In Management
Engine Interface (power management) I have corrected the "wrong" setting that the computer is allowed to turn off this device to save power. Besides, I turned off hibernation with a restart as suggested. Does someone maybe have a solution for this problem
?

Cannot wake PC from sleep with keyboard/mouse

OS: Windows 10 Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.836)

I am unable to wake the PC from sleep with the keyboard or mouse. I took several steps and spoke at length with a microsoft tech who could not solve the problem. Here is the changes I made:

-Under device manager i made sure keyboard and mouse can wake the computer up.

- Turned off fast startup.

- Used these commands in the command prompt: powercfg.exe /hibernate off powercfg.exe /hibernate on.

- Changed power settings to allow hybrid sleep off and allow wake timers Enable.

- Went to BIOS upon restarting at went to the power section and made sure that the keyboard can wake the PC and selected wake with any key on the mouse.

- After all of that failed to fix the issue I went back to the advanced power settings and reset to default. That still did not fix the problem. I have to push the power button to wake the PC up.

 

Wireless mouse and keyboard not waking PC from sleep

Hi Paul

I am Juliet and it's my pleasure to help you today.

If your mouse or keyboard won't wake up your PC from sleep, you need to check an option to confirm they're allowed to do so. Follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the Start Button, or press Win + X, to open the Power User menu. Select Device Manager.

2. You'll see a list of categories for the devices connected to your PC. If you can't wake your PC from sleep with the keyboard, click the arrow next to Keyboards.

3. This list will show one or more entries for your PC keyboard. Double-click each one of them in turn, and select the Power Management tab at the top. If you don't see this tab for a particular entry, move onto the next one.

4. On each entry's Power Management tab, make sure that the Allow this device to wake the computer box is checked. Click OK when done, making sure to do this for all entries.

5. Your keyboard should now wake your PC from sleep.

6. Repeat these steps for the Mice and other pointing devices category in the Device Manager if you have an issue with your mouse not waking your PC from sleep too.

I hope it helps! Let me know the results.

Have a nice day ahead and Stay safe always
