Every time I plug in a new mouse/keyboard or plug an existing one to a new USB port, I have to manually go to the device manager, go to the device's property page, and uncheck "Allow this device to wake the computer" on the "Power Management" page.
Is it possible to set up a system policy in Windows 7, such that this box is not checked for new USB mice/keyboards by default?
Edit: If there's no way to set up such a system policy, is there at least a way to enumerate and disable USB wake on devices by using powercfg
in a batch file?
Edit 2: This has to be possible to do at least using powercfg
. powercfg devicequery wake_armed
gives a list of all devices that can wake the system. Now how can I feed this list back to powercfg
and have it disable the wake on the listed devices?
