SP3 Not waking from sleep, fan running

[nightrider76]

I did a search and couldn't really find any information so here i am posting.

So, this has happened a couple times.

I have put the tablet to sleep, when i go to use it again the screen will not turn on. I hear the fan running and when i press the windows button on the SP3 i feel it vibrate but nothing. I usually hold down the power button and restart the machine. I had similar problems on my SP2, with it turning on while in sleep but the screen always went on. I am considering going back and enabling hyper V and just put the machine into hibernate but i see mentions of the pros and cons. I did try it over the weekend and the main con i encountered was my wifi not enabling automatically...

Any input/thoughts/experiences?

I would look at the process running in the background. Updates, anti virus etc. I think something is not completing which is hanging you up.

I have a similar issue when I close the keyboard and put it to sleep. I can hear the fan working, the haptic feedback works and the keyboard lights up but the screen doesn't turn on. Any ideas?

Hold power button for 30 seconds

Hold power button for 30 seconds

Wouldn't that just restart it? I shouldn't have to do a force close every time this happens.
