My computer is rebooting when it wakes from sleep and as I have a couple of Samsung NVME m2 drives as my main C: and storage drives I've read the samsung V3.0 driver can cause this, the cure is to uninstall the driver and revert to a standard Windows one. I assume this is just a case of going into the device manager and uninstalling the devices but was wary of doing this as one is my main C: as stated, will this cause problems?

I just did a win update to ver 1903 and windows gave me the stornvme.sys driver by default.
I would close samsung magician go to device manager storage controllers open the standard nvm express controller next open update driver.
The driver is in the windows system32 drivers folder and is named stornvme.sys if needed.

Thanks, I tried that but could only get one controller to take the driver, then I checked the samsung installation file and it had an uninstaller built in........doh

Removed it now and computer is waking nicely.
