Windows 10 Start Menu Opens When Waking From Sleep

Issue: The full Start Menu opens when waking your computer from sleep mode.
This behavior is more of an annoyance than an issue, and an odd one at that as sleep by nature indicates you’re continuing where you left off.

Solution – Start Menu

1. Right click or touch and hold the Start Menu and choose Shut down or Sign out and Sleep
2. Alternately you can click on your desktop (so it is the active Window) and press Alt+F4 (close Window) and the choose sleep
   

Right click Start > choose Shut Down or Sign Out > choose Sleep = no Start Screen on Wake

Click your Desktop > press Alt+F4 > choose Sleep = no Start Screen on Wake.
