Recently my Kodi always shows a black screen after wake-up from Windows 10 Standby, when using Settings:Display:Full-screen. This problem does not occur, when using Settings:Display:Windowed.
When I re-connect the HDMI cable, the black screen disappears and the Kodi home screen is displayed.
I'm not sure, whether this started with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update or with installation of Kodi 17.5.
Does anyone have an idea, what could cause this?

I was about to do a post on this to let people know I’ve found a temporary solution.
The problem is the W10 creator update. I solved this issue last night by rolling back my latest version update. Google roll back w10 creators Update.
My resume from sleep is working fine now.
Unfortunately I didn’t get any logs so have nothing to post maybe you can capture logs which may assist in a long term solution.
My htpc is an amd A10 APU. Kodi 17.5.

I had a bit more of a play with this last night after rolling back the creators update.
I installed windows tool wushowhide.diagcab which prevents the installation of the update. While doing this I noticed the Radeon graphics drivers were also updated during the update. I’ll have a play this weekend to see if it was the drivers or the update that created the issue.

After further tests I found that black screen only appears after wake-up from Windows 10 Standby with "sign-in options:require sign-in" = "never". Using "sign-in options:require sign-in" = "When PC Wakes Up From Sleep" is an acceptable workaround to me.

I have the exact same issue. I usually press the / key twice on keyboard to switch to window mode and back to full screen mode. After that it all works without issues. Seems to me that this is a kodi resume issue, because Windows is working fine.

The issue is more related to display management: when Kodi changes video resolution for video playback (swithcing from 1080p@50Hz tp 1080p@24Hz), same issue on both TV output (HDMI) and video-projector output (DVI): screen goes blank.
And activating another window than Kodi resumes display.
Any idea ? This is really ennoying as my HTPC is remote-controlled (no keyboard)

For me what helped was to disable "Use FullScreen Window". But yeah, this is very annoying problem.

Note that my current workaround is to use Launcher4Kodi and specify:
1. Kodi to close during Suspend
2. Kodi to start when resuming from Sleep
As you understand, if I pause a movie or TV and in the meantime HTPC goes to sleep then I have lost the movie/TV episode I'm watching so not acceptable workaround.
We need a fix for that please Kodi team.
