I have the issue with sleep mode on my HP laptop. I have found that the
function of closing the lid thus putting the computer to sleep causes
the problem where if you hit Alt F4 then choose the sleep option and put
the computer to sleep then closing the lid has no issues.

Hi. I would like to know this -- I have a friend who gets this like
what you see all the time and she does not like it at all!
Thanks.

Here's something else you can try, Don.
I had something very strange going on with my Windows 10 system when I
came out of sleep. My vocalizer Expressive synth was in slow motion
and the pitch was very low. So I really couldn't understand anything
being said. Then I tried redrawing the screen which also resets the
synth. That solved the problem. But I had to do it every time.
Next, try hitting Control instead of Escape to wake the computer. See
if you come in on an insanely inexplicable screen that says something
like, "like what you see? If not we can show you more pictures." This
is the "lock screen." tabbing through this screen gives you picture
choices and Escape closes it.
If you see that screen with Control and Escape closes it do you come
in on the Log-in button? And do things work better?
I did find out how to disable the lock screen but it requires a
registry edit. Let me know if you want those instructions.
Regards,
Tom

Hi Don,
I don't remember all the details about specific manufacturers, but what
I've seen is that Sleep mode can cause problems with certain device drivers.
Not coming back to life after returning from Sleep.
Instead of Sleep mode, try Hibernation, which switches power off completely,
and see if performance is stable after returning from hibernation.
Hth,
Rod

Subject: Problem exiting sleep mode
I am running Window-eyes 9.4 on an HP desktop whose operating system is
Windows 10. The problem I am about to describe is not screen reader
specific, but I am hopeful that some list member may know of a solution.
After this machine has been put into sleep mode, it is difficult to get it
to come out. I usually press the escape key to wake it up, after which
Eloquence utters several unintelligible syllables. Now comes the tricky
part. I tab slowly and hear things such as "ease of access,"
"shut down," and ultimately "unlock." However, if I tab too rapidly or too
slowly, the system locks up requiring a hard reset. On at least two and
possibly three occasions, the machine would not reboot; and, since I had no
speech, I got sighted help and ultimately resorted to a system restore to an
earlier date.
I vaguely remember seeing a post, possibly on this list, that this problem
is peculiar to some HP computers. So if there is either a fix or a reliable
work around, please provide the specifics.
Thanks in advance.
Don Roberts
