Out of Memory Error When Waking from Sleep

📝 Description

Some users on LaunchBox 13.21 may encounter an “Out of Memory” error after waking their PC from sleep. This is a known issue related to hybrid sleep — a power state where the system first enters hibernation before going to sleep.


🔧 Technical Details

The problem appears to stem from how the .NET Framework handles system sleep states. While the framework is expected to manage transitions smoothly, it’s currently failing to do so in this scenario, resulting in instability upon wake.


🛠️ Workaround

The issue can potentially be avoided by disabling hybrid sleep. This usually involves turning off hibernation entirely. While results may vary, this workaround has helped some users avoid the error but is not a good long term solution — please use at your own discretion.


🚧 Status

We are actively investigating possible workarounds within our codebase. However, the root of the issue lies within the .NET Framework, which complicates a direct fix.

This issue did not delay the release of 13.21, but we are prioritizing a more stable long-term solution.
