Disable “Wake on Mouse/Keyboard” while “Wake On By PCIe/PCI” must be enabled

In order to support “Wake on Lan” from “Power Off State (S5)”, I had to enable “Wake On By PCIe/PCI” in the bios of my Asus P9X79 Pro. A consequence seems (?) to be that moving the mouse or pressing a key from the keyboard also wakes the PC from “Sleep States (S2/3/4)”. This can be solved by disallowing those devices to wake the PC via their “Power Management” properties.

    3. Go to the “Hardware” tab and select the device named “HID-compliant mouse” with type “Mice and other pointing devices”. Then click on the “Properties” button.
    4. In the “HID-Compliant mouse Properties” pane now opened, click on the button “Change settings”. This will add a tab “Power Management”. Open that tab.

  2. Disallow the Keyboard to wake up the Computer
    1. Open Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers
    2. Double-Click on your Keyboard or on your receiver if you use a wireless Keyboard (Ex.: Logitech Nano Receiver). NB.: my Bluetooth keyboard is displayed as “Logitech Elite Keyboard”.
    3. Go to the “Hardware” tab and select the device named “HID Keyboard Device” with type “Keyboards”. Then click on the “Properties” button.
    4. In the “HID Keyboard Device Properties” pane now opened, click on the button “Change settings”. This will add a tab “Power Management”. Open that tab.
    5. In the tab “Power Management”, uncheck the option “Allow this device to wake the computer”. NB.: if there is a “Sleep” button on the keyboard, it won’t work either to wake the PC from Sleep State !
