Windows 10 Freezing in Sleep Mode

I have disabled sleep mode on my windows 10 pro computer.  I've noticed that when the computer is unused for hours it will appear to be in a sleep-like mode.  Then when i tap the keyboard it does not wake up.  Ultimately, i have to restart the computer.

Is there a fix for this?

This appears to be related the graphics card drive in many cases. You can try opening device manager, finding the graphics card, right clicking on it and asking it to update driver automatically. Windows 10 can usually find the updated driver (otherwise you can find it the old fashioned way with google and install it). If that doesn't work you can go and do the same process except instead of installing the new driver try clicking properties and then roll back the driver.

The sleep settings are set to never for both monitors and the computer.  When i press the power button nothing happens.  I end up having to push it for 5 seconds until it turns off and then push it again to turn back on
