sleepwindows 7
Just about every night I put my Windows 7 computer to sleep, and then I turn off the power to my bluetooth keyboard. Almost always, the next morning my computer has woken up, keyboard still off.
I'm using a Microsoft Wireless Desktop 7000 keyboard (no mouse) and the associated USB adapter. Everything is setup so my keyboard can wake up my PC.
Why is my Windows 7 computer waking up after I put it to sleep (without any keyboard input)?
I think the hard drives don't support Windows 7's new Power Management settings.
I'm getting regular Blue Screens of Happiness whenever I try to "wake up" my E-Sata external hard drive. I installed the newest Intel Raid drivers (which I hope contain some updated drivers) and it's better now, but still not perfect.
The default Power Management options in Windows 7 Beta turns off the Hard Disk after 20mins. This could cause problems when the PC comes out of sleep mode or hibernation. To work around the problem set the Power Options for the Hrd Disk to never turn off. To do this
- Click Start – Control Panel – System and Security – Power Options
- Click “Change Plan Settings” on the “Balanced (recomended)”
- Click “Change Advanced power settings”
- Under the “Turn Off Hard Disk after” option change the timing to “0″ which should set it to Never. Click Apply and OK.

To disable awake from a certain device:
powercfg /devicedisablewake "HID Keyboard Device"
Et voilà:
powercfg /devicequery wake_armed

Make sure the settings for the network card look like this, as this is a none issue for most xp versions
