Windows – Why doesn’t the mouse work when the computer is woken by keyboard

mousesleepwindows 7windows-vista

Whenever I wake the computer by the keyboard, the cursor doesn't move, and the mouse buttons don't work… But when I wake up computer by mouse move or click, all works correctly!

This doesn't always happen, but it does happen very often. I've tried to replicate this under both Windows Vista and Windows 7 – and got the same result in both.

Just for reference, my mouse is a Microsoft 8000 Mouse (bluetooth).

Any ideas what could be the reason? Thank you!

I've never really gotten on with bluetooth mice, does the mouse come back to life if you restart the bluetooth support service from start run services.msc

This should help identify whether it's a USB issue or a Bluetooth one.
