Windows 10: Hibernate vs. Sleep: Exiting with Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse and Avoiding Crash

Version: 10.0.18363 Build 18363
System Model Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI
Processor IntelR CoreTM i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz, 4001 Mhz, 4 Cores, 8 Logical Processors

When I enter sleep for a while I can't exit using any bluetooth devices and it sometimes crashes on me. When I enter hibernate, I can exit using Bluetooth devices and no crash. Any thoughts? I guess I would prefer hibernate mode over sleep anyway because it uses less power and with the SSD it appears to be roughly the same speed if not faster exiting than sleep mode.

I was able to switch off sleep and turn hibernate mode after 30 minutes in the advanced power settings.


Power Settings -> Additional power settings -> Change advanced power settings -> Sleep -> Hibernate After -> Setting enter time period

Exit Lock Screen - Keyboard or Mouse click


I have multiple computers with the Win10 (64 bit) update. On two of the computers, if I enter the lock screen by using the Start-L keyboard shortcut, I can exit the lock screen (and enter the log on screen) by clicking the mouse or hitting a key. However, if there has been an extended period of time (e.g. overnight), on one computer I can only exit the lock screen by pressing a mouse button. On another computer I can only exit the lock screen by hitting the keyboard. I would like it to be able to use either to exit the lock screen. Some deltas:
Computer 1 (mouse exit works) has wireless bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
Computer 2 (keyboard exit works) has a wireless keyboard, but it is IR (so the IR receiver is tied to a USB port). The mouse is a Wacom mouse that works with my drawing tablet. The tablet is attached via USB.
I upgraded both computers from WinXP 64bit, and did not have this issue.
Any ideas? I'm thinking the devices must be entering some quiescent state when 'off' for a period of time, but, like I said, this did not happen with XP.

Bluetooth driver goes missing when using with Surface wireless keyboard and mouse

Hi Lawrence,

This issue may have occurred due to connection issue between your computer and with the mouse and keyboard, or a software conflict. Since the driver is updated, we suggest that you check these articles for further troubleshooting steps:

• I have connection/detection issues with my Bluetooth® device.
• Resolve Bluetooth mouse or keyboard failure to function.
