Have you ever had your computer go to sleep or enter into a hibernation mode, but wished it would wake up more quickly? The keyboard and USB device wake-up feature might just be the solution you are looking for.
When a computer goes to sleep, it enters into a low-power state in which the screen turns off and the hard drive stops spinning. This helps to save energy and prolongs the life of the computer. However, it can be frustrating when you need to quickly access your computer and have to wait for it to wake up fully.
That’s where keyboard and USB device wake-up come in. When this feature is enabled in your computer’s BIOS settings, it allows you to wake up your computer by simply pressing any key on the keyboard or by moving your USB mouse or plugging in a USB device.
To enable this feature, you will need to access your computer’s BIOS settings by pressing a key (often F2 or Delete) during startup. From there, navigate to the Power Management section and look for options related to keyboard and USB device wake-up. Enable those options and save your changes before exiting the BIOS settings.
Keep in mind that this feature will consume a small amount of power even in sleep mode, as it will be constantly listening for a wake-up signal. However, the amount of power consumed is negligible and should not have a significant impact on your overall computer performance or battery life.
In summary, keyboard and USB device wake-up is a useful feature that can save you time and frustration when waking up your computer from sleep mode. Just be sure to enable it properly through your computer’s BIOS settings.
