I tried: Device Manger Mice and Pointing Device Right Click

Didn't work.

That didn't work for me either, but using powercfg did.

Thanks for the info but this didn't work for me either. I tried powercfg
in both the Powershell(Admin) (and redid it in the Administrator
Command Prompt - just in case) and both gave me the same: "You do not
have permission to enable or disable device wake". Apparently I need
more than just administrator authority.

Overnight, my machine woke up twice by the lan. No idea why, but
disabling lan wake from sleep seems to have fixed that too.

It appears my machine is going to win this one...


Use the SYSTEM account ?

Grab a copy of pstools from here.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sys...nloads/pstools

Unpack with ZIP or 7ZIP.

In an administrator Command Prompt window,

cd /d %userprofile%\Downloads # add foldername where you stored it...
# mine is in Downloads when unpacked
psexec64.exe -hsi cmd

When the new Command Prompt window pops open

whoami

And it should have the word "System" in the returned
account name result.

Then, try your Powercfg command, whatever it was,
in the new system-flavored Command Prompt.

powercfg ...
