Solved Preventing Windows 8 from powering PC with the click/move of the mouse

Title pretty says it all, is there a way to prevent Windows 8 from powering up the PC with the move/click of the mouse/keyboard?


Thanks!

If the PC is off and not in sleep or hibernate, that's a BIOS setting not a Windows setting.
If the PC is off Windows isn't running so it can't turn itself on.

Hello SlackerITGuy,

The tutorial below can help show you how to prevent your keyboard and mouse from being able to wake up the computer. However, it may make it a bit of a challenge to wake up the computer if the case power button doesn't do it for you.

Hope this helps,

Thank you both!, sorry for the massive delay.

You're most welcome. I'm glad that we could help.
