Black screen upon waking from sleep

#1

If I let my computer sleep while WMC is on, on wake-up about half the time the screen will be blank and remote is unresponsive. Most of the time, I can hit the windows key and kill WMC, then everything is normal.
I'm running the latest WMC build, on Windows 11 (latest probably). (my PC is older and I had to "force" Windows 11 on there. Thinking to wipe it and go to Windows 10).
Anyone ever have this issue?

Thanks,
Mike

I had this and found it was using the default MS graphics driver.

I installed the one from the card vendor and it fixed it.
