This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable allowing a device to wake the computer in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

When you put your computer to sleep, a device can automatically wake the computer if the device is currently configured (allowed) to wake the system from a sleep state.

Some devices may support waking the system from a sleep state, but are not currently configured to wake the system.

Reference:


You must be signed in as an administrator to enable or disable a device to wake the computer.
