SYMPTOMS

When you use one of the Microsoft pointing devices that are listed in the "Applies to" section, you may experience one of the following symptoms:
  • You may be unable to wake the computer from standby.
  • After you wake your computer from standby, your pointing device may not work.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) that is installed in the computer reduces power to the port to which the input device is connected.

You may be unable to use Bluetooth devices to resume operation from certain power management states (such as suspend or hibernate). In some low-power states, the wireless transceiver may be unable to receive information from the Bluetooth devices.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, see the documentation that is included with your computer or contact your computer manufacturer for information about how to configure the BIOS.
