The STANDBY utility in Windows is one of the worst written pieces of code ever released. The majority of users who try to use it have problems of one kind or another. And, the problems are not all the same, that is, they are not consistent. One user will have problems with regaining the monitor, another will have problems with internet connections, while another might have problems opening certain programs, and so on and so on. My advice to everyone is to discontinue use of any of Windows Power Management utilities, including Standby.
