Computer ALWAYS beeps in sleep mode when my corded mouse is plugged in.

[FarmerTom0]

When computer goes into sleep mode, it beeps every 2-3 seconds and continues until I wake it up.  If I'm wearing my BT earpiece, the sound comes over that, otherwise over the system speaker.

I've found that if I unplug my corded mouse, the beeping stops.  Mouse has no on/off switch so I can't turn it off.  I tried turning it over and that does nothing to stop the beeping.  I've followed the advice from several web posts and none of them have helped.  I even followed a post from this forum and it did not work because the options it said I should choose from don't exist.

The ONLY solution I've found is to unplug the mouse but I'm afraid that over time it will wear out the rather flimsy mousy cord or the plug.  And, come on, I shouldn't have to unplug my mouse every time I leave my computer for more than a couple minutes.  Yes, I realize I could tell my computer to never go into sleep mode but that's not the right solution either.

   • Repeat the same for Universal Serial Bus controllers.

2. Change Power Management Settings

Hi @FarmerTom0,

Please find the next steps below.

4. Disable Wake Timers

1. Disable Wake Timers:
   • Press Windows + X and select Power Options.
   • Click on Change plan settings next to your selected power plan.
   • Click on Change advanced power settings.
   • Expand Sleep and then Allow wake timers.
   • Set it to Disable.

5. Check BIOS Settings

1. Enter BIOS Setup:
   • Restart your computer and press Esc, F10, or another designated key (varies by model) to enter BIOS setup.
   • Look for settings related to USB devices and power management.
   • Ensure there are no settings enabled that could cause the mouse to wake the computer or behave differently in sleep mode.
   • Save changes and exit the BIOS.

6. Try Another Mouse

1. Test with Another Mouse:
   • If possible, try using a different corded mouse or a wireless mouse to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is specific to your current mouse.
