My computer wakes up randomly in the night, I've always assumed it was due to the mouse moving a pixel from random vibration of my desk.
And, side note, would it be too much to ask that after a billion dev-hours effort in to the most popular consumer OS on earth, that it could figure out that a 1-pixel movement at 3:28 AM does not mean I want my display to light up and stay on for a full 60 seconds? And while we're at it, why is the only way to send Windows to sleep (one of the most common things I do with a hotkey) a four-key combination (win+x,u,s)?
- withinboredom 4y agoWin+L always put it to sleep instantly for me. Might be a setting somewhere to go to sleep when locking?
- layer8 4y agoThat’s probably due to the “System unattended sleep timeout” being set to zero.

- nazgulsenpai 4y agoIt's lock, for the record.
- layer8 4y agoIn Device Manager you can configure any USB device to not wake the computer (“Allow This Device to Wake the Computer”). I usually do this for mice. > why is the only way to send Windows to sleep a four-key combination (win+x,u,s) Using OpenShell, the slightly shorter Win-Right-Return works for me. Some keyboards used to have a dedicated off/sleep/suspend key. You can map any shortcut you like using AutoHotKey, or you can bind a global keyboard shortcut to a batch file via a file shortcut in the start menu (Ctrl+Alt+something), or by pinning it to the task bar (Win-n).
- ineptech 4y agoI know it can be worked around, it's just mystifying that it needs to be. This is #2 on my "what the hell, microsoft" list, right after the way the Teams join meeting? taskbar popup obscures the Teams join meeting button.
