Let’s learn how to find the Devices Support Waking Computers list in Windows 11. When you put your computer to sleep, a device can automatically wake it if it is currently configured (allowed) to wake the system from a sleep state.

Some devices may support waking the system from a sleep state but are not currently configured to do so. Knowing which devices are currently configured to wake the system from any sleep state can be useful if you want to prevent a device from waking the computer.

Then, use powercfg.exe to control power plans (also called power schemes), use the available states, control the power states of individual devices, and analyze the system for common energy efficiency and battery-life problems.
