I've always had problems with the SP3 not waking when it should and not sleeping when it should, but it seems noticeably worse with Win 10. Anyone else experience this?
My biggest complaint is that the unit refuses to hibernate. If I hibernate it, it goes dark for a handful of seconds and then starts up again, often with the fan running!
It doesn't seem to matter what I leave running when I hibernate. I can leave nothing running and it still won't hibernate (ditto for sleep)
The problem seems exacerbated when I leave it in the dock. I have checked as many devices as I could think of in the device manager to make sure they are not allowed to wake up the device.
What this means is that the unit is worthless to be as a "convenience tablet" because I have to power it off and on every single time, which takes considerable time to do.
I can't believe MS hasn't gotten there arms around the sleep/wake problems yet with these devices. My lack of confidence in them addressing this is the main reason I haven't, and probably never will, buy an SP4.
