While the laptop is sleeping, it will be resumed by touching the touchpad/an external mouse. "Allow this device to wake the computer" on Power Management tab are unchecked. Any ideas? Thank you.

Acer Swift SF314-511
BIOS: 1.13
OS: Windows 11 Home 22H2
powercfg -devicequery wake_armed: NONE

    Did you shut down laptop. Then turn it back on after unchecking the box?

    MyBIOS setting is same as yours. So the issue is not caused by those setting.

    Yes, I checked. After reboot the laptop, the box is still unchecking.

    Simply shut the touchpad off with FN+F7 combo. .

    But an external mouse still can wake the laptop up.

    Depends on the mouse. Some will & some won't respond to the Device Manager power management checkbox. I have an ACER wired mouse that won't respond. But a much cheaper Logitech M325 wireless mouse that will respond. Try a few other mice. You might get lucky. You can also turn a wireless mouse off too with a flick of the switch on the bottom. Might not be high tech, but manual on-off switches do work pretty well and not too inconvenient either.🙂

    So far I have tried two wireless mice (Logitech M330 and HP Z3600) on Acer Swift SF314-511 and HP HP Elitebook 840 G1, they always wake the Swift 3, but never wake the Elitebook 840. After reading JackE's comment I try two wired mice on the Swift 3. The wired mice work well, do not wake the Swift 3. So, Should I continue to shut wireless mouse power off before entering sleep mode. Or, use a mouse with wire. Anyway, thank you, JackE.

    Good luck with whatever you decide to use. Every PC , touchpad & mouse model, among other components and peripherals, have their own idiosyncracies likely due to proprietary designs from different manufacturers. Some play together flawlessly. While others don't quite do it as well despite industry standards that try to avoid these bugs.
