I've come across a bit of a weird problem, I like to lock my computer every time that im away from it and for the past few years ive been pushing Windows+L to lock it. Recently though every time the computer is locked all of the devices plugged into it stop working, Normally when I use the keyboard or click the mouse the screen goes out of stand by mode and back to being on but now nothing happens at all. Nothing will make the computer respond. The debug light on the pc still shows AO which to my understanding means everything is working under normal perimeters, I'm going to upload a video to show this in action.

You aren't locking your computer - you're putting it in sleep / hibernation mode. This means the computer won't respond unless you hit the power button. Check your power settings.

I thought it was that at first, Turns out the computer had selective idle on, It was turning the keyboard and mouse off but the actual computer was staying turned on, Its all sorted now
