I've got a beefy Windows 10 desktop computer (specs below) that has a NVidia 970 card, two 4K monitors and bunch of bluetooth devices (k/b, mice, etc.). I've noticed that once it has gone to sleep and woken up, everything seems like it is dragging. Things like gmail take longer to load, typing feels a little like typing in sludge (not horrible but noticeable).
When I look in task manager, my CPU is showing 1% usage, memory is also barely used.
Any hints where to look?

Does the performance improve after a while or does it remain this way until a reboot? – Burgi – 2016-05-08T18:32:46.357
Stays the same, at least 30 minutes and then I get frustrated and reboot usually – Peter Kellner – 2016-05-08T18:53:45.703
Is it possibly to test with a wired keyboard/mouse rather than the bluetooth ones? – Burgi – 2016-05-08T19:05:05.667
wired or non-wired k/b and mouse is the same. I can visibly see things updating slower on the screen. an obvious example is the scrollbar that shows when gmail is loading emails. I have a macbook on my desk also running parallels and I can launch gmail on that while the desktop is still loading. Also odd, is I've noticed Visual Studio launches super slowly (like 10x slower). I've got a super fast SSD also. – Peter Kellner – 2016-05-08T22:51:41.863
What seems the most odd is that nothing shows up in taskmanager. when my system is booting, taskmanager shows all the apps slowly settling in and eventually goes to 0 to 1% as I expect but the computer stays slow. – Peter Kellner – 2016-05-08T22:52:32.973
Install the WPT (part of the Win10 SDK: https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads/windows-10-sdk), run WPRUI.exe, select "First Level", under Resource select CPU usage, DiskIO, FileIO and under Performance Scenario select Standby/Resume. Number of iteration can be set to 1 and click to start. This suspends the device and resumes it. Now you have 2 minutes to do some operations which are slow. All activity gets logged into an ETL file.Zip the large ETL file into zip/RAR file, upload the zip (OneDrive, dropbox, google drive) and post the share link here.I'll look at it

They updated that driver and now performance is what I expect when it comes out of sleep. No idea how they figured this out but it appears to have solved the problem. Makes me like macs even more. – Peter Kellner – 2016-05-09T23:24:18.990
ok, post this as answer – magicandre1981 – 2016-05-10T04:09:10.907
