Windows 10: Problems with Windows 10 making changes to my system when I use sleep mode

Not because I want it, but because the guy who built my computer likes partitions, he created an S drive on my hard drive. I found how to save files to the S drive. But every time I wake my Windows 10 up after sleep mode, the S drive is unavailable. It's nowhere to be found. I've tried everything. If I restart the computer the S drive shows back up. This defeats the whole purpose of using sleep mode. I rely on sleep mode to leave unfinished work open in whatever program I'm working in to finish later when I come back and wake the computer up out of sleep mode. How can I make it stop hiding the S drive every time I tell it to sleep? I have googled all kinds of phrases trying to find the answer, but I can't find anything about settings or hard drive changes when using sleep mode. Thank you.

Windows 10 - Problem waking up from sleep mode

This worked for me on a Lenovo Horizon2 27 all-in-one PC that was able to sleep manually but could not be wakened once sleeping after upgrading to Windows 10 Home.

I ran the powercfg /energy and examined the report as GoWMike describes. It showed no driver errors but suggested that there is a problem with the system's "High Performance" power setting that may prevent normal waking from manually induced sleep.

I used powercfg /list to show available modes, copied the GUID for Balanced mode, and then used this with the powercfg /activate command to change the plan.

I also used powercfg /devicequery wake_from_any

to get a list of device names for components capable of waking the system from sleep, and then I used

powercfg /deviceenablewake <devicename>

to make certain that the touchscreen and power button are armed to wake the machine.

After restarting, sleep and wake then functioned properly again.
