Hi,

Mouse/touchpad driver needs to be reinstalled or updated would be my guess.

Boot into Safe Mode and let the machine go into Standby mode (you might
want to shorten the Standby interval during the test). Then see if you
can bring it out of Standby mode okay. If so, something you load on
Windows startup is interfering. If not, start updating your drivers.
You might also want to review what power options are configured in your
BIOS.
