Maybe it has something to do with clean installing Windows 10? When I give it the command or close the lid to make it go to sleep, everything seems fine. But when I come back to the computer, I notice that the power lights are no longer pulsing like usual and then when the computer finally comes back to life, it's almost as if the computer was shut down unexpectedly: all my windows are closed, and when I open Chrome again, it offers to restore my tabs.

I've already seen some tips online about disabling "hybrid sleep" and I believe it's already disabled on my computer. Another thing I've done is to never turn off the hard disk after a certain time in my power options.

My one fix (which is kind of annoying) has been to make use of Hibernation so that my session gets saved to the hard disk instead of getting completely lost. It's not a bad fix, but it does get annoying since it isn't always as fast as waking from sleep. Any ideas?

IDK. Mine also does that sometimes, but it's ok since I get all my tabs back...

Several things could be at fault.

1. If your tabs are coming back consistently like in LinkPizza's case, it means your computer is automatically installing updates during sleep mode, then restoring whatever it can. Windows 10 is good about that.

2. If your tabs are not coming back automatically but still saved to Chrome, it means there's some sort of error going on. Mine used to do that for like 9 months but then after an update, suddenly, it worked perfectly. Check to see if you can find any error reports.

3. For some people, setting the computer to "never" do something power related will inevitably cause that to happen as a result of something else. Again, my laptop used to do the same thing until I changed those options from "never" to "5 hours". This reduced the frequency of the problem until that miracle update came out.

4. It could also be a power-related or overheating error. I'd recommend downloading something like CoreTemp to check to see if your computer is overheating at all during normal activities. If it gets within the danger zone often (around 85+ C), it could be overheating.

5. Finally, the weird fix. This weird process completely fixed my desktop a while back. I had to create a second account and use that one because Chromium-based browsers, Office, and most games didn't work on my main account. I haven't had a problem with my desktop since.

I think for myself, just like some random guy on the internet I agree with 100%.

Thank you. Those are some good things for me to look into.
