Optiplex 3010 wake on mouse move
Hello Folks, Have 3010 with latest BIOS, A12 think, updated July 2014, and win 7 pro. I would like to wake the computer from SLEEP using mouse movement only. Can't see option for wake on mouse in the BIOS setup. Can anyone help please? (The computer wakes up from SLEEP when a key is pressed or if the power button is pressed, but not if the mouse is moved. Hibernate is disabled.) Thanks. N

Hello coopern,
Thanks for the post. There are a couple of settings I would suggest checking in troubleshooting this. Firstly make sure the BIOS setting for ‘USB wake support’ is enabled: BIOS >> Power Management >> USB Wake Support.
Within the mouse power settings you can also configure its ability to wake the system from sleep. This can be checked by navigating to the ‘Mouse’ options in the control panel and selecting the mouse you would like to wake the system from the list of connected devices under ‘Hardware’.
After selecting your mouse select properties to bring up the device details. Under the general tab you should be given an options to ‘Change settings’ that when clicked will take you to the following screen with the option to enable / disabled the devices ability to wake your system from sleep.
For more information on how to configure sleep settings within Windows check out the following Microsoft guide: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/sleep-and-hibernation-frequently-asked-questions
