Unresponsive after sleep

[farmgirl806]

I am unable to double click my icons on the desktop  and  any open web page is unresponsive after laptop sleeps.  If I open task manager
I am then able to click on links and everything is normal.  I just have to open task manager I do not have to restart windows explorer.  This is now happening everytime I let the laptop sleep.  Can anyone help.  The laptop has windows 10.  Thanks

Question.:
Would you be happy using a workaround? for example, only letting the monitor shut down but leave the PC running?
That will reduce some power consumption.

I agree with just setting the hd and display to power down after a defined period of inactivity. Believe it or not neither sleep nor hibernation were ever 100% perfected by Microsoft and still cause problems for some users.
