As the title says, today I'll show you how to stop your mouse from waking up your computer, and the reason is that I just remembered I had a problem some years ago, when my computer wouldn't stay in sleep mode, because the mouse was too sensitive, and with each car passing on the street, my computer was taken out from its stand by or sleep state.

- Press the Start Orb, and then type "mouse" in the search box.

- Press the highlighted item above, and then open the Hardware tab in the window that opens.

- Left click on Properties.

- Select the Power Management tab, and there uncheck Allow this device to wake the computer.

- Press OK twice to open both windows open, and it's done!

I am sure this is going to be useful to somebody, and if you're one of those, please don't forget to drop a comment below! Thank you very much and good luck!
