Unfortunately most of this delay is caused by your hardware / driver / BIOS, not Windows.

When connected via USB, do your keyboard/mouse work to wake the machine from sleep? Also, are they connected via a hub or directly into the machine?

Yes, I use the keyboard/mouse to wake the machine up.

The key/mouse are wireless and they share a common receiver, which is plugged directly into the USB.

So, which hardware/driver/BIOS is causing the delay??? and how do i fix it?

If memory serves me right there may be an option in the BIOS to allow USB Devices to Wake The System from S3. (There are in some BIOS that is.)

You may wish to check that out!

this is wierd. i had the same problem a while ago with my mouse and it started randomly, not after any driver updates or hardware changes. i just ignored it and got used to hitting the space bar instead. later i reinstalled the os for another reason and didnt have the problem anymore. maybe a reinstall of mouse/keyboard driver will help? i wouldnt reinstall the os just to fix this but idk up to u

You hit the nail on the head, Cara!

Go into the Chipset portion of your system's BIOS and you'll see something along the lines of "USB Keyboard Support" and "USB Mouse Support" - check those settings, as well as the "Wake On..." ones. USB Mice and/or Keyboards may not be immediately powered-up and may take a moment or three. I believe that the USB Keyboard Support and USB Mouse Support sets the Chipset to provide continuous +5VSB to both / either of them so that you have the ability to wake your system up with the keyboard or the mouse.

If you do set these to "YES" and still have trouble, you might want to look into getting your motherboard's latest BIOS & Chipset drivers.

Hope this helps!

I have Acer M1610... and I think I might need new BIOS, but i do not know where i can find them.. I tried acer's website, but they don't have BIOS download nor chipset drivers. can anyone help me get a link?

You could DL CPU-Z, which will tell you the motherboard make/model and go directly to the MB manufacturer's site and get updated BIOS :)

@franzon: I tried that link. Acer europe is different from acer pamamerican (I live in Florida) and it doesn't have R01-A3 BIOS

and people help further???

BTW. I bought the computer with vista home premium. Right after I bought it, I installed vista ultimate using a friend's CD... maybe that has something to do with BIOS???

you can access the download page for it via here

if you do have a m1610 then you have the wrong bios installed

what OS you have isn't related to your bios. completely seperate

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
