My Win 11 PC won't wake up from sleep using the keyboard or mouse.

Anonymous

My Win 11 PC can only wake up by pressing the power button. How do make it able to wake up using the keyboard or mouse?

I have checked the option that says "Enable wake up using mouse or keyboard" somewhere, but it doesn't make any difference.

My PC is updated to the latest system update.

I believe I found the solution, it is a Windows power-saving policy where USB power is cut off when the computer goes into sleep mode, so the keyboard receiver will not work, and the computer will not wake up as a result. You just need to disable this feature.

Settings > Energy e Battery > Energy Recommendations > Stop usb devices when my screen is off to save battery ----> Turn Off.

Justingo, it sounds like your computer puts bluetooth to sleep when it goes to sleep. I am not sure how you would keep that on. It could be a BIOS setting or a Windows power setting.
