Hi all,

Over the last couple of days I've noticed that when I move my mouse or tap the keyboard, my computer doesn't wake up. The monitor doesn't come on as if to wake up my Mac Mini. It used to.

The only option I've had when this has happened is to turn it off using the power button and then back on again where the monitor them comes on.

I use Logitech MX Keys and Mouse on Bluetooth.

Anyone else having this issue? Could it be a bug?

Cheers,
B.

Try the "right click" on your mouse.
That works best for me.

Note: I have my Mac set to never sleep, but just put the display to sleep.
Not sure if this makes a difference or not...

I've noticed this also. It's possible that in "full" sleep mode Bluetooth shuts down which means a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard would get disconnected and therefore unable to wake the computer up from sleep mode. Shutting the display off only would still allow Bluetooth devices to wake the display up. Initially I couldn't get mine to wake up with the Bluetooth mouse but it WOULD wake up off the internal keyboard or the track pad.
