How to Allow or Disable Device Wake Permissions on Windows 11

Windows 11 Device Wake-up Setup Guide

This article describes how to check which devices can wake up your Windows 11 computer, and how to configure wake-up permissions for these devices using Device Manager and Registry Editor. Make your computer easy to wake up while sleeping, while avoiding accidental wakeups.

1. Check which devices can wake up the computer

Not all devices connected to the computer have the function of wake-up the computer. Many device manufacturers disable this feature for the sake of power consumption or preventing accidental wake-up.

To see which devices can wake up your computer, follow these steps:

1. Open the Start menu, search for "Command Prompt", right-click and select "Run as Administrator".

2. Enter the following command in the command prompt window and press Enter:

   <code>powercfg -devicequery wake_from_any</code>

3. You will see a list of devices that can wake up your computer. Devices not in this list cannot be configured to wake up the computer.

   

2. Use the device manager to change the wake-up permissions

To adjust the wake-up permissions of the device, use the Device Manager:

1. Press Win X key to open the Power User menu and select Device Manager.

2. Double-click the hardware device you want to manage wake-up permissions. For example, to configure a keyboard, double-click the Keyboard item, right-click the connected keyboard, and select Properties.

3. In the Properties window, switch to the Power Management tab.

4. Select the "Allow this device to wake up the computer" check box to allow the keyboard to wake up the computer.

   

5. Click OK to save the changes.

3. Solve the problem that the "Allow this device to wake up the computer" option is grayed out

For some Bluetooth devices (especially some game controllers), you may find the "Allow this device to wake up the computer" option grayed out. In this case, registry editing is required:

Warning: There are risks in editing the registry, and incorrect operations may cause system instability. Be sure to back up your computer and create a restore point before operation.

1. Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following location:

   <code>Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BTHPORT\Parameters</code>

2. Right-click the Parameters key in the left sidebar and select New>DWORD (32-bit) Value.

   

3. Name the value as SystemRemoteWakeSupported. Double-click the newly created value, enter 1 in the "Numerical Data" field, and then click OK.

   

4. Reopen the Device Manager, double-click the "Human Interface Device" item, right-click your controller, and select "Properties". Switch to the Power Management tab and you will see the Allow this device to wake up the computer option now available.

4. Summary

Carefully give the device wake-up permissions, for example, if the mouse is allowed to wake up the computer, it may wake up even if a slight accidental touch is used. It is recommended to enable wake-up permission only for devices that are unlikely to accidentally touch.
