    Keyboard/Mouse won't wake up Windows 7 when sleeping


    It used to work without an issue then it stopped. Not sure if the issue is due to an update from Windows or from another hardware. Basically when the computer goes to sleep the keyboard and mouse is supposed to wake the computer up (I set it up that way), but nowadays I have to manually click the power button for the compute to wake up. Furthermore, the USB with the wifi, bluetooth, etc...won't work either so I have to restart the computer.

    This is a fairly new build (less than 6 months) and now I'm having issues with the simple features.

    Maybe something got changed in your power options,

    Power Plan Settings - Change

    After clicking the area in the red box, check your various settings,

    I've messed around with this setting before but the issue persist. I've gone as far as changing some setting with my keyboard/mouse in device manager but still no dice.

    What's weird is that sometimes my computer will wake up and sometimes it won't, but majority of the time (90%+) it won't.

    I'm still looking around, do you have those plugged into a USB hub?

    No. All of my USB is plugged in the front panel the Corsair 600T. I did some research about the issue too and it seems lots of people are having this issue with Windows 7. Can you confirm this?

    Well there does seem to be a few threads on the same thing,

    The OP in this thread solved it by turning hibernate off and on a few times,

    PC in sleep mode will not respond to mouse or keyboard

    I'll keep looking around if you want to try that.

    See if this helps,

    Has anybody figured out how to solve this USB "Wake from Sleep" issue?

    My PS/2 mouse died and I got a USB mouse as a replacement (big mistake).

    Of course I can't wake my PC now.
    The USB keyboard has never been able to do it.

    In fact, waking a PC using USB devices has never worked on any version of Windows (98SE, XP or W7) or motherboard (ASUS, Gigabyte or ASRock) I've ever used.

    Since there seems to be dozens of settings related to this, selecting the correct combination by "trial and error" is impossible.

    I have never had a problem "Waking from Sleep" using the mouse, which is a Logitech Trackball Mouse that I have had for about 6 years. Originally it was installed as a PS2 mouse using a USB to PS2 adapter. Recently I decided to change it to a full USB mouse so I downloaded the appropriate software from Logitech & it works perfectly.
    Check under Device Manager, Mice & other pointing devices, then Power Management tab & Tick the box "Allow this device to wake the computer".
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the suggestion. :)

    I have a Logitech M105 ("el cheapo").

    I checked the settings for my keyboard and mouse.
    They were already set to "Allow this device to wake the computer".
    I've also checked my Power Plan settings.

    There are several options in the BIOS and I have tried several different combinations.

    Sometimes pushing the power button once on the actual pc while it is sleeping will wake it up.
