Odd wake issue
I see there are many posts on sleeping /waking issues, and I've browsed more than a few without finding an obvious answer.
After many months of dependable behavior, my system (which runs 24/7) now exhibits aberrant wake issues. On waking from keyboard or mouse all appears normal except the system refuses input. The cursor is mobile, and I can even open a desktop icon with it, but once open the program cannot be interacted with. When I Ctrl-alt-del then click cancel ( i.e. simulating a log-off), everything is fine.
I have gone through the power settings and in fact recently moved from never sleeping to hibernation, but it hasn't changed the (mis)behavior one whit.
For lack of a more obvious culprit - I suspect my M$ Natural 6000 (which is a great design-poorly executed POS) if only because from time to time it displays random quirks after periods of rest.
Any thoughts?
