Go into Control Panel and then select Mouse.
Click on the Hardware tab, and make sure the name of your mouse is there [usually it is a generic one like HID-Complaint Mouse].
Select the Properties button, select the Power Management tab and uncheck "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby".
Click OK and close down any boxes. You may need to reboot for the settings to come into effect.

For most hardware you can also get this option up from Device Properties, but it's quicker to go through the Mouse options. Hope that helps

Thumbs up The mouse properties

Thanks Elijah13 for the question, and Ash for the answer. This was really good info. Something simple, yet important. Two thumbs up.

Just a recap of the question: How can I get my mouse to NOT bring my computer our of Standby?
