Surface 4 Pro hibernates when the screen shuts off
I disabled all sleep and hibernation for both battery and plugged on my power plan.
The problem is that whenever the screen shuts off, the surface hibernates, so whatever is running stops. For example, if I am listening to a song with VLC player, it shuts off as soon as the screen shuts off or if I am recording something using audacity and a USB sound card, the recording stops after the screen shuts off.
The system is treating my settings to shut the screen off after a specified period of time, as if the settings were for hibernation.
Some Windows update (AKA downgrade) caused the problem as the unit hasn't always behaved like this. I just upgraded to the latest Fall Creators update and the issue persists.
What can I do to disable this "feature" so all programs and features will work when the screen shuts off?
If it is relevant, the unit is an i7 with 8 GIG of RAM.
Thanks
