Sleep has been broken for months on my device. (lemmy.magnor.ovh)

Any time I put the device to sleep, the top bar disappears on resume and I cannot get back to or launch any game. They do launch, but the menu window keeps focus and prevents me from accessing them.

I've gone through several stable updates and the issue remains.

Has anyone had the same issue ? Is there any fix short of reimaging ?

Edit: workaround thanks to [email protected]:

"Found a temporary work-around - it's somehow related to the "Wake Movie." In the Steam menu on the left, go to "Settings," down to "Customization," then turn off "Use as wake movie." Should work the next time you "Sleep" "

I have seen a similar issue a few times, but not regularly, and I have not seen it since the last update.

I could see the game running, if I hit the menu/steam button, it would show up under the steam menus.

I could even hear the game sounds and music.

a reboot normally fixed things.

I have also had sleep issue where the deck would wake up, then go back to sleep after impressed the power button. I set the auto sleep timeout to be never, and have not seen this happen any longer.

it's like the deck woke up, checked the clock, and decided it was idling for the proper timeout to auto sleep.
