Windows sleep shortcut

Hi Javier,

Instead of creating a shortcut, here's an easier way to put your computer into sleep mode: Press Windows key + X, followed by U, then S to sleep.

We hope this helps.

Hi,

I did go to properties on the Device Manager and clicked on the "Use mouse for wake up" check box.

It works only when the computer goes asleep on its own, after the time allotted but not when put to sleep using Windows Key+ 'X' and then 'U' follow by 'S'.

Thanks John, it really solved my problem.  And quickly, too.

Now, if there were a way to "Wake up" from sleep with a shortcut, too...

what do you think?

To wake up from sleep I tap any key on my keyboard or move my mouse.

Thanks, Bulldog.

I appreciate your sharing.

I can't wake up my computer by hitting a key or moving the mouse.  I tried it.  I have to push the start button on the computer tower to awaken it.

Maybe I need to do a settings tweak but couldn't find where or how.
