Hi guys,

No matter what I do, my Logitech mouse keeps waking up my computer. I have un-ticked the box in the device manager under power management but it still keeps happening. I have also disabled wake on mouse in the BIOS.

Here is the relevant hardware if that helps:

Logitech M705 mouse
Asrock Z97M Anniversary motherboard

If any of you guys have experience with this I would really appreciate some help. Thanks!

Ok I figured it out from this link:

Okay, I finally figured out the issue here and a band-aid solution. Since both the mouse and keyboard are connected to the same USB dongle, something with either Windows or the unifying software makes it so you have to disable both to keep either one from waking the computer. The solution, although it kind of negates the purpose of the "Unifying" dongle, is to connect both the dongle that came with the mouse and the dongle that came with the keyboard. For some reason, an "HID Keyboard Device" will still show up for both dongles, and the one corresponding to the dongle the mouse is connected to will still need to be dissallowed to wake, but once that is done the keyboard will be able to wake the computer and the mouse will not.

Odd. I use a Logitech wireless mouse on every desktop and every laptop I touch, and have a wireless keyboard on the desktop. The Logitech software has never woken a computer from sleep unintentionally.

Glad you found a workaround that works for you though.

Another band-aid you may want to try is removing the Logitech software that you don't need. Once the mouse is installed and paired with the receiver, Logitech software is not needed for any of its basic functions. This action should let you know if the software is doing something with the mouse to wake your PC, or if it's the mouse itself.
