    How can I prevent my keyboard from turning on my computer?


    I set the mouse not to wake up my computer, and that's great.. I do like to wake it with the keyboard though so I left that on..

    What I would be happy to do now is to keep my keyboard from turning on my computer when I turn it all the way off.. I'd like just the button on the front to do that.

    Thank you!

    cxskate, welcome to the Seven Forums.

    Something like that would be a bios setting and nothing to do with Windows. Going to have to have a look in the bios power options for the option (if present). If in doubt filling in your system specs,

    Look under keyboard options... I found the option in mine, just have to dig for it... Here's a pic of what it should look like:
