Mouse Won't Wake PC

I can only wake my PC from sleep using the keyboard. How do I get it to do it with the mouse? My Logitech mouse does not have a power management tab under Properties.

If you have an optical mouse (light on the bottom), some models cannot wake the computer when the light is out. I know I must use the keyboard. You can check to see if the mouse is set up to wake.

Control panel>mouse>hardware>properties>change settings>power options.

I don't have the change settings-power options under properties?

Dont you have change settings? Read my post again.

If not, it means to me that your mouse does not have the capablity of waking the computer.

I just have tabs for General, Driver, Details.

Type device manager in search

Click on mouse

Click on the information that drops down

Change settings


Power management.

Nope - don't have those choices

If your mouse has the side clicks, see if that wakes it. I think that your mouse does not have the ability to wake.

Nope, no luck. I'm really even more interested in getting rid of the search box that comes up every time the pc wakes up.
