BStar’s Code Snippets

You put your computer into hibernation. Everything seems to fine and you went off. When you come back your PC is running. How? Mostly since you have a cordless mouse which sends from time to time a signal. Or you just moved the mouse.
After checking all BIOS settings you were not able to find the reason. This is because the main reason for the problem is your OS: Windows 7 or Windows Vista. They have their own build-in power management.  So you need to change the settings there.

So, if you have the problem that your computer awakes when moving the mouse after the hibernation there is a simple solution:

• Open the “Device Manager”
• Collapse “Mice and other pointing devices”
• Select your mouse
• Right click and select “Properties”
• Switch to the “Power Management” tab
• Deselect “Allow this device to wake the computer”
• Done!
