Any time I put the device to sleep, the top bar disappears on resume and I cannot get back to or launch any game. They do launch, but the menu window keeps focus and prevents me from accessing them.

I've gone through several stable updates and the issue remains.

Has anyone had the same issue ? Is there any fix short of reimaging ?

Edit: workaround thanks to Blxter@lemmy.zip:

"Found a temporary work-around - it's somehow related to the "Wake Movie." In the Steam menu on the left, go to "Settings," down to "Customization," then turn off "Use as wake movie." Should work the next time you "Sleep" "

I had same issue a while ago and thought I was dumb for a long time people talking that the sleep feature was cool and mine was broken since getting the deck. I found this and it worked for me. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/1/3816284554962948252/

Well that may have done it, cheers!

In my case the setting was turned off already, but turning it on and off seems to have solved it. If this fix holds I'll add it to the OP.

Thanks!
