Appreciate Dalchina's suggestion re Feedback Hub.
I'm using Webroot Secure Anywhere, same as I used on Win 7. Any other thoughts about delayed recovery from sleep?
Set default location for new windows? Hasten password textbox?

Resuming from sleep should be about recovering from a low power state.
You can consider seeing how turning off fast startup affects this. Some say disabling it improves things, although that's far from obvious to me.
It's possible this is related to a driver or particular hardware.
I can't recall seeing this question before myself.

I ran the above utility with special attention to the 'Standby Performance' module. Average time to resume (without password) was 21". The module identified the following problem:Possible technical analysis: Windows Performance Toolkit

There was a raft of technical data beyond my ability to understand. The results file is 23 MB.Resume issues 105 MB of reads and writes, and flushes 38 times to storage.

Hi, Have you tried disabling fast startup as I suggested?
Am impressed you ran it. Unfortunately there's only 1 member of tenforums who looks at some of those.. zinou.
There is a 3rd party program which can specify size and position of the window shown per program - this one's not free:Is there a setting I can use to put new windows in the center of the screen by default, or is this something the individual apps control?
This suite of programs does a whole lot more too. I use it to give titlebar buttons for on-top, frequently used and favourite folders for example.

It seems WinX is actually 'learning' to leave my windows where they were when I closed them. Apparently it's a slow learner, but not totally stubborn on this point.
I found an interesting article about 'Fast Startup' issues. Among other things, it helped me to restore useful options to my power button. How to disable Windows 10 fast startup (and why you'd want to) | Windows Central
I appreciate all your help on this. Next up, getting Steam to recognize my PS3 controller...

Did disabling it help with resume time? No guarantees there..! Disabling is a well-known fix for various boot issues, which somewhat questions its implementation. It's pretty much irrelevant if you have a SSD as your system disk anyway.

With 'Fast Startup' disabled (confirmed after restart) the time from sleep to password prompt was 22" vs 5" for a cold boot this AM. Is that weird or what?

Fast startup is meant for mechanical drives not ssd. So if you have an ssd you should disable fast startup.
Plus fast startup is just buggy. Windows 10 in general is.
