Sorry if im not understanding. But I dont use sleep/hibernate as I have those disabled. This is purely when I lock my PC but everything is still open and running while im away. What would session restore have to do with it?
Yeah if I lock and unlock immediately everything is fine and desktop pops in immediately. But if I lock and afk for an unspecified amount of time (5 mins, 10 mins, 30 mins, I dunno how long it takes to happen). I unlock and the screen goes black for a few seconds before finally loading in, then I get spammed with notifications from my chats, and at one point my start/apps menu was completely blank and empty, no favorites and no categories, it wasnt until I manually searched for something that all the icons and folders/categories restored themselves
I went ahead and defaulted my suspend/power settings and set them back up again in case something got borked during the update or the switch to wayland. Guess I will lock and let it sit overnight and see what happens in the morning
