I have a similar  same problem with the POS Lenova Laptop I am forced to use at work. I have narrowed the problem down to it being an issue with the interrupt system in Windows. Basically its defective. What I do is make sure I never open  the display , but only move the attached mouse or  press a keyboard key to make the external display respond. Opening the laptop necessitates a complete hard reboot to get any response from the peripherals because experience (years of trial and error) has told me it thinks there are no peripherals attached when the display is opened up. Those buffoons at MS prolly are still using the desktop Windows kernel with the Surface and trying to get it to work with all that old crappy code. The windows memory Manager is a complete and utter mess of obfuscated code , read: It can't really unfrag its heap or anything else for that matter. Putting a windows system to sleep is akin to death.

  I'd wager the kernal has "forgotten" where the cursor is after sleeping. I bet the memory manager has corrupted the cursor address and so on wake it can't figure out what to wake up freeze, or goes off to some address that leads to a freeze. Do you have peripherals attached.? It might be the same issue. In fact  I have owned several pc laptops over the years and invariably they start exhibiting this behavior.

 I don't know why it is I guess it has to do with crappy HW quality and the kernal Windshit OS. Its hard to believe that MS can still not fix such elementary school things like this work. Oh wait, I'm not really THAT surprised there is minimal Quality  Control or basic testing done at MSFT is there, we are beta testers duh. Bill Gates pitched us a POS

I'm looking very much forward to retiring in one year, so I will never ever  have to use a Windows based computer ever again. Until then its just the one of many annoyances I have to deal with at the office.

This problem which  is one of 1000's that Windows has is the reason why consumers are buying macs in droves and moving to mobile devices that actually work. If you think about it. I'm glad that Microsofts Mobile strategy is failing. At least they won't inflct any more damage on the more gullible   users who might fall for their sales tactics!

I just love it when someone, knowing I'm a techy, asks me to fix some annoyance on their Windows machine and I reply "I stopped using PC's after XP . I moved to a mac, sorry I can't help you!". I never say  , "you stupid fool- you shouldn't have bought that POS cheap garbage in the first place" that would be cruel, I let them figure it out the hard way for themselves- As the original idiot who bought into the surface hype did- I just think it. And he paid $4000 for it lol jeez what a bozo

They can relocate the antenna bands, but it's still ugly.

It's a piece of unibody aluminum ala iPod touch. Why is that now considered ugly?
