Surface 3 unresponsive on wake up?

[Evlkud]

Hey there!
I have a Surface 3 (4gb ram 128GB) and I mostly love it!

I have one issue and I'm not sure if it's a Win10 issue or S3 issue, but when my screen goes to sleep and I wake it up the device seems unresponsive until I pull down then up the lock screen again. I can see the mouse cursor on the screen but it won't let me click anything or if I go to touch it, it won't work either (until I pull lock screen down and up again)

Does anyone else experience this? Is it Win 10 or the device?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

It seem like many people have the same issue. I had the same issue with a brand new Surface 3 (2GB/64GB/Win10).
Screen was blank and unresponsive. When I touch the windows button it vibrates but screen remains blank. I can see type cover backlight is working but nothing on screen. Once this happened I had to press power button for 15 seconds to reboot.
I verified Windows update was up-to-date but this still happened.

What I did are these 3 things
- Complete refresh as explained in MS support page with "Refresh your PC without affecting your files". It looks like Windows 10 was re-installed. Then I had to let it update fully again.
- I disabled Hibernation mode with powercfg command. This is explained in few places.
- I had a SD card inserted. I changed it to high performance mode. Then reboot.

It's been 3 days since refresh and I have not encountered the blank screen yet. Every wake-up is responsive since.
I don't know if this is a permanent fix (hopefully MS will address it soon), but if you haven't tried a complete refresh it may be worth it.
Hope this helps.
