thanks for info
I did install cbt but the registry thing was added for legacy drivers
I had tried both free which always worked and paid for which didn't with cbt installed
I hadn't been able to updaqte either machine past 16046 so did clean installs onboth one was 17101 and 17604...makes me wonder if that is why I was stuck on 16046 for so long.
I had tried the legacy registry on both of those builds but they had been attempting a new update almost every day for last month and the legacy registry didn't help....so they remained on 16046...so I gave up and reinstalled updates from isos onto clean drives
Magilla, powercfg -h off isn't turning off Powercfg. It's turning off hibernation. When hibernation is turned off in this manner, Fast Startup is automatically turned off along with it.

You can use the powercfg.exe tool to control power schemes (also named power plans) to use the available sleep states, to control the power states of individual ...
I have already seen several comments in the Feedback hub about the problem with sleep, so it's a common problem in build 17604, here is one of them but there are several: https://aka.ms/Ne5phg
I have never had hibernation or fast startup activated, I think that's why I didn't experience any problem with sleep in build 17101, but in build 17604 the problem appeared from the beginning and it's not fixed with a clean installation.
Not necessarily, Meebers. Like you, I only turned off Fast Startup by unchecking its checkbox; however it doesn't work with all systems, while Powercfg -h off works with other systems. I believe you need to turn off hibernation with the Powercfg command, rather than just uncheck its box. I was given the Powercfg solution by @simrick (after I'd turned off Fast Startup) and then later found it in the Feedback Hub.
The person who first posted the "Turn off Fast Startup" solution said there's a bug in it. I don't know if that's true, but it worked for me and now, seemingly you. :)
