Trying to figure this out. I don't think that it used to do this. At least, I never noticed it.
When Win10 1607 newest patches, goes to sleep on my system, when I wake it, I have to manually turn the monitor on, and then I press a key on my USB wired mech. keyboard, and then it wakes up.
Recently, though, I'm catching it showing the UEFI splash screen with the ASRock logo, and the spinning circle below.
It seems almost like it's resuming from hibernate instead (crashed during sleep? or during wake?), but I don't have anything set in the UEFI to actually power-on via keyboard, that I know of.
This is really puzzling me.
A few weeks ago, I re-formatted with Win10 1607 64-bit, and put in an Intel 600p M.2 NVMe SSD. Previously, I had a Samsung SM951 AHCI PCI-E M.2 SSD.
I haven't updated the BIOS on my ASRock Z170 Pro4S board.
Could the appearance of the splash screen, have something to do with the NVMe? Can't Win10 wake from sleep, without re-initializing or having to run the UEFI?
The only thing that Reliability Monitor shows for the past few days, is informational, listing Windows Defender updates. No crashes listed.
Could my "S3 resume (STR)" be shut off somehow? Could that have been set as a registry entry by some program?
Edit: I just manually went to the Start Menu, clicked on the Power icon, and clicked Sleep. Monitor went black, waited a few seconds, clicked the mouse, and it woke back up, NO UEFI SCREEN.
Seems like my machine is crashing during extended sleep periods? Or is the OS causing it to hibernate, after so many hours in sleep mode? (I have laptops that do that.)
If it's hibernating, then how come I can wake it with a press of the SHIFT key on my USB wired keyboard? If I don't have power-on-by-keyboard set in my UEFI? (I should double-check that.)
