This issue is more likely to occur on laptops, especially Surface devices. However, it’s not impossible for PC to have this problem. Here’s exactly what you need to do:

Solution 5 – Update chipset and display drivers

There’s a chance your current set of drivers, more precisely chipset and display drivers, interferes with the Fall Creators Update. And that’s exactly what causes the wake-up issue. So, it’s highly recommended to update your drivers upon installing the Fall Creators Update.

Since this procedure varies depending on your motherboard, we can’t put the exact instructions. However, here’s the article about flashing BIOS, so you’ll find more info there. Remember to be very careful when updating BIOS, because it’s a risky operation, and potential mistakes can do a lot of damage.

Solution 7 – Change Sleep options for mouse and keyboard

Solution 8 – Roll back

And finally, if none of the solutions above managed to solve the problem, maybe the best idea is to simply roll back to the ‘original’ Creators Update. At least until Microsoft updates the current version of the system. In case you don’t know how to roll back to the previous version of the system, we’ve got you covered with a detailed guide. That’s about it. We certainly hope at least one of the above-mentioned solutions helped you deal with wake up problems in the Fall Creators Update.
