I agree. It is certainly harder than it was under Win8.1. I think I will consider disabling standby if it causes any more problems.

We have a surface book pro 4, and it will go into fake standby mode (black screen, except for JING Icon), and we cannot seem to do anything. It is partially alive.
Luckily, hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del got me back to the login screen, everything was normal after that.
We have noticed HUGE issues once updates are downloaded and ready to install. It is like it starts disabling crap until you do the reboot that installs stuff.
Comparing the two, I prefer windows 7 still, but I can see eventually making the switch.

I gave up using standby, it cant handle my intel hardware.
Most times that it does a windows update my start menu and notification panel die and require rebooting in safe mode to make them work again. ms know about this bug but have not yet been able to fix it, so that doesn't pump up my confidence in win10.

Sounds like you have a hardware issue perhaps aggravated by W10.
In my experience with W10 on my laptop, it loves to install updates at the most inopportune times.
I'm wondering if it installed an update while you were gone and the system was idle. It rebooted (unlikely but possible) and then ran into a transitory hardware glitch - perhaps the m-board battery like has been mentioned. Just spit-balling.
Is there an update for BIOS?
(BTW, I'm unfamiliar with the term "pukka".)

Sorry about that. Pukka is adopted from the times of the English Raj in India. It is an Anglo-Indian word which means, among other things, thoroughly good, complete, solidly built, genuine, high class.
It's an interesting, plausible suggestion as to what might have caused the re-boot. I will see if it happens again.
I've never actually done a BIOS update although I have been tempted. I will check if one is available and, if so, see if I can pluck up the courage to do one.

Don't try one if your CMOS battery may be flaking out.

I don't know if it was my tablet but I only saw a J displayed on Friday - was that correct ?

No I think the chars I picked didn't display properly for you.
It should have read something like DoctorJCPee, which was an anagram, no wonder nobody got it.
