My Win 11 PC won't wake up from sleep using the keyboard or mouse.

Question

My Win 11 PC can only wake up by pressing the power button. How do make it able to wake up using the keyboard or mouse?

I have checked the option that says "Enable wake up using mouse or keyboard" somewhere, but it doesn't make any difference.

My PC is updated to the latest system update.

I believe I found the solution, it is a Windows power-saving policy where USB power is cut off when the computer goes into sleep mode, so the keyboard receiver will not work, and the computer will not wake up as a result. You just need to disable this feature.

I FOUND THE REAL SOLUTION

It most likely is in your bios, (if you tried all device manager options already) then go into your bios and check for any USB wake up settings and make sure they are enabled, go to power management and look for resume from USB settings and enable (they all will say something like S3/S4/S4) which is what you are looking for. save and exit and if it doesn't work then switch to a USB 2.0 instead of 3.0 port and try
