Is there any way to enable wake from sleep via keyboard/mouse?

Right now the computer does not wake from sleep when tapping a key on the keyboard, or moving the mouse. The only way to wake it is by hitting the power button. This is especially annoying as the unit is mounted to the back of my monitor, making access inconvenient.

I've checked the bios but can see no setting for this. In windows 10, the "power management" tab of the device settings for both keyboard and mouse have "Allow this device to wake the compuer" enabled. I don't know what else to check.

Thanks!

Hello, GK55 can wake up the sleep mode from the mouse and keyboard, because supporting this function requires that the USB port is still powered when the machine is turned off. You can plug the keyboard and mouse behind the machine to wake up the sleep mode.

Ah, so you have to use the USB ports on the rear of the unit. That worked. I had previously plugged them into the USB ports on the front. Thanks!
