Windows 10: Surface Pro 9 with Windows 11 Pro - 2 questions:

I've upgraded my Surface Pro 5 with Windows 10 Pro to a Surface Pro 9 with Windows 11 Pro, but there are a few things I've been unable to replicate on the later machine. Specifically:My Surface Pro is setup in a remote location, and I access it using RDP from my main computer, in the house. Now, the Surface Pro 9 won't wake up from Sleep when I try to connect remotely. I have to go to the machine, press the power button and then go back to my main computer to do what I wanted to do. I didn't need to do this with the Surface Pro 5, as it was always ready to go - even after automatic updates
