Surface Pro 2025 - wake ONLY on power button

Hi Patrick,

You can try disabling wake triggers through Device Manager.

1. Press Win + X and select Device Manager.
2. Expand categories like Keyboards, Mice, and other pointing devices, or Bluetooth.
3. Right-click the device (e.g., Surface Flex keyboard or touchpad) → Properties.
4. Go to the Power Management tab.
5. Uncheck “Allow this device to wake the computer.”

If the Power Management tab is missing, it means the device doesn’t expose wake settings to Windows, which is common with Surface peripherals. In that case, you may need to rely on registry tweaks or use Hibernate instead of Sleep to prevent unwanted wake-ups.

This is the documentation related to your issue. I hope this helps. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/component-guidelines/wake-on-touch-implementation-guide

Flex keyboards do NOT have power management settings in Device Manager. Hibernating at the end of your day or when you are not using it MIGHT work most of the time. I have my SP11 for Business with Flex keyboard set up to use Hibernate. In case you need to know how to turn Hibernate on: Open Powershell(x86) as an administrator, then type in powercfg /h on

Then Hibernate will appear in the shutdown menu if you go into Control Panel, Power Options and hit chose what closing the lid/power button do, select Change settings not currently available and check the hibernate button.
