    I just got my DV6T 2 days ago. Everything is going well until this morning, when I turned on my mouse, it woke up my laptop which was in sleep mode. I then turned off all "allow this device to wake up the computer" options under all mouse/touchpad related settings. However, my mouse and touchpad were still able to wake up my laptop. Anybody knows what else I need to do in order to prevent this.

    Note: I have Logitech Anywhere mouse and I installed the drivers and utilities from Logitech.

    Thanks

    If you are using the logitech mouse, go to setpoint settings and change the settings from setpoint implementation to OS implementation so maybe it'll use most of the settings you set on the Mouse settings in the os instead of the setpoint settings, and it may be why it does it.
    This is my guess and I haven't tried it yet.

    It is working now for some reasons. I didn't change anything except I rebooted the machine a couple times. That's weird and thanks for the suggestion.

    You may also change these options in the power settings and BIOS.

    Which option in BIOS because HP BIOS has very limited options. Please advise.

    I also have a Logitech Anywhere mouse.

    EDIT: Stumbled upon a possible solution. Under device manager, uncheck the "Allow this device to wake the computer" box under power management for BOTH the HID keyboard and mouse. This works for me, and the keyboard seems to still wake the laptop if the lid is open and it's asleep.

    I had to redo a minimum restore again and I couldn't stop my mouse from waking my laptop again, but what you said here helped me out! Thanks a lot for your help. The keyboard power management section did that trick.
