I asked about this maybe a year ago and someone here, maybe even you,
told me to do this.  Of my two computers in use at the time, and the 3
mice or touchpads, only two had a power management tab. 

I have reminded myself which ones they are, and 
  The desktop with win10 PRO has that tab. 
  The laptop with win10 HOME has that tab for the external mouse, but
not for for the built-in mouse. (I wonder if the tab would appear if
there were no external mouse!)   ----  But a year ago, if it was
checked, I unchecked. "Allow the device to wake the computer" (and it's
still unchecked).  I think I later checked it, saved it, and unchecked
and saved it, just in case it wasnt' really unchecked, but that changed
nothing.  And the mouse would still wake the computer, when I pressed a
button or even just moving the mouse.

That was true until sometime between 1 and 5 this morning, eastern time,
but now the mouse won't wake the computer.  Apparently it took a year
for the change you suggested to take effect. 

BTW, in Device Manager, the external mouse is listed first.  That
surprises me.

Wow.  So you are using the PS2 port on the PC, and a USB keyboard with a
PS2 adapter on it so  you can plug it into the PS2 port, right? 

(I actually still have some PS2 keyboards, but the laptop, the current
problem, has no PS2 port.   :-(    )
