Had this issue for years over 2 machines.

One had some shit in the background the prevented standby.

Other was so simple it pissed me off.... .. the damn mouse jostling around in the laptop bag was walking it up.

I'm still going to point the finger at windows because 1) there should be a better tool for identifying what is keeping a system awake and 2) should be default for a mouse to not wake a portable machine who's lid is shut.

I agree with.
Is terrible as there are many times you want to be able to use a machine with its lid closed. Layering more and more “id10t” prevention into a system isn’t great, and windows is already bitched about for the levels it has now.

2 is fine.

I know where you're coming from, I use a closed notebook with external display sometimes.

I might need to be more specific. If the notebook is used as a typical notebook, and one closes it with the intent of putting it to sleep, once sleep has been reached an external mouse should not wake it.

However if you do toggle the power settings to allow the machine to function with the lid closed and/or machine docked then you do want to mouse to wake it keep awake the machine.

I mean, you can tell Windows to not wake with a specific device, which is what most would expect.
