USB Mouse slow to respond after wake from Sleep

I have a Razer Copperhead USB Mouse.

Specs of my desktop can be found here: TechComet: My Gadgets

Basically, I put my desktop to sleep (using S3-STR) and when I wake it up my moues does not respond for about 15-30 s after which it works fine. I am running Windows 7.

I have no other problems with my system, my keyboard responds fine and I have all necessary drivers installed.

I have no idea why this is happening and the fact that my computer resumes from sleep in 2 seconds is great, but not when I have to wait another 30 for the mouse to work!

Any ideas?

Welcome

Did you check for new drivers?
Are drivers working properly?

Did you experiment with another mouse?

Go to device manager, to check drivers. A yellow warining marker will inidcate problems. It will not show if it is the most current, however.

Is it possible that the computer is reading the reinstalling the hybernation file as it was when it went to sleep? Depending on the computer setup it possible could be 20-30 seconds.

Just a guess.

100% sure drivers are all OK. Unfortunately, don't have another mouse on hand

Not sure what you mean. If so any way to solve it?

Basically, this is happening sometimes, not every time I sleep/wake.

I thought I had solved this, but now I have to ensure that I wake the PC by clicking on the mouse otherwise it doesn't wake up for some minutes.

I know this is an old thread, but in case somebody runs into it, here's what seems to be working on my Win7 Enterprise x64 installation:

1. Create this key with regedit.exe (as Admin): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\USB

2. Create a DWORD 32-bit entry named "DisableSelectiveSuspend" and give it a value of 1

3. Close regedit and reboot. Hibernate and bring it up again. Mouse shoul work now..

Hope it helps...

I had this very same problem, for months. It was maddening. I tried all the standard solutions in Power Options, Device Manager, BIOS, etc.

I finally fixed it by disabling the Workstation service (one of the many hidden programs that automatically run when you start Windows). The Workstation service is necessary only if your PC is connected to a private network (not the Internet) so you can share files, printers, and other devices with other computers. (You can read more about it here: Workstation Service)

When you resume from Sleep mode, the Workstation service searches for other computers on your network. Even if they don't exist, in some cases it can still take a while to realize that and release your system back to you. If your PC is NOT on such a network, you can safely turn it off and avoid this delay.

1. At the Start menu, type cmd and look for "cmd.exe" in the list above.

2. Right-click "cmd.exe", then click Run as Administrator. A command-line window appears.

3. In the window, type services.msc and press Enter. The Services window appears.

4. Find "Workstation" in the list of services. Right-click it, then click Stop. After the service stops, right-click "Workstation" again, then click Properties. The Workstation Properties window appears.

5. In the "Startup type" list, select "Disabled", then click OK.

6. Close all open windows, then log off and back on again for the change to take effect.
