Mouse no longer wakes laptop from hibernation

I used to post here ages ago for my ancient Quantex, but my login info seems to have disappeared.  Starting again...

I have an ASUS UL30V laptop running Win7 Home Premium that I've had for almost a year.  During the day I use Hibernate when I'm not using it for a while and I always simply move the mouse to get the windows login screen to come up.  Starting yesterday the mouse no longer wakens the computer.   

I went to the Device Manager and checked the settings for the HID-Compliant Mouse and it is set to "Allow this Device to Wake the Computer."  I tried disabling it, rebooting, enabling it again, rebooting...still nothing.

I also accessed the BIOS using Alt+F2 and I saw no settings there that applied to USB or waking so I left it alone.

I moved the mouse to the other USB ports and also switched out the mouse with another one, same thing.

Obviously something has changed.  I've downloaded nothing and updated nothing.  I ran Trend Micro antivirus and AntiMalwarebytes and they found nothing but a few cookies.

It will wake when pressing the Power key, but the mouse is what I've used for a year.


I haven't noticed anything else unusual.


Any suggestions?


Thanks!

Thank you.  I should clarify...when the ;aptop goes to sleep after being unattended I can wake it just fine using the mouse.  It's when I manually use Hibernate, which is what I usually choose when I'm not going to be using it for a while that I can't wake it now.  Not sure what that means.

The problem could be your hibernation settings, which Windows has yet to master.

Which operating system are you using?

You may also want to double-check your BIOS settings and ensure it's on "S3" power saving mode. Also verify the settings to wake from sleep. Each BIOS is different, so I can't give you much guidance here.
