Have an m17 alienware laptop running windows 10. Managed to fix an issue where the laptop would restart on wake, but now the keyboard isn't responsive on wake so I can't enter a password without restarting so back to square one. The backlight and mouse and touch pad all work. Just the keyboard is having a fit. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that might help.
- Open Task Manager, press Windows key + R and type "devmgmt.msc" and press OK.
- In Device Manager expand keyboard and right click on the driver for keyboard then select Properties.
- Go to Power Management tab and remove the check on "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" then click OK.
- Reboot the PC and test it again.
- If that doesn't work go back to Device Manager then Uninstall the keyboard driver and reboot the laptop so it would install the driver back automatically.
