Every time Windows 10 go to screensaver or to sleep mode it says my drivers are gone?

Every since upgrading to WINDOWS 10, I've been having drivers problems in Cakewalk Sonar, every time my computer goes into screensaver mode and sleep timer mode, when I wake up the computer some of my drivers are gone specifically the audio interface driver? It started doing this when I upgraded to windows 10, in windows 7 never had this problem. Anyone else ever had this problem?
 
Thanks

Screensaver off, never sleep... standard DAW.

Sometimes, USB ports don't revive properly after having been put to sleep.

Standard practice for any DAW computer is to set it so nothing ever goes to sleep and to disable any screen savers.

I had virtually the same problem when I got my new dell pc with WIN 10 in Jan, Feb.  Updates, restarting, each morning, whatever, the audio was gone. I just kept going thru the different lists for optimizing the pc and eventually, it stopped losing the drivers and I would have sound in the morning and even after restarting. I have always let my pcs go to sleep and I still do, I didn't know that was an issue. I can't say what solved it, but it wasn't the sleep nor the USB 3 port (mine were not set for disabling) because I kept those, but after a couple of weeks something must have worked in the settings and all seems good now for at least a month. The one horrible thing is windows updates because I never know when that is happening and all of a sudden in the middle of work the pc will stop functioning completely, can't even bring up control panel. I will attempt to restart and then it will tell me it is configuring updates. It often takes hours and then to restart will go black for about an hour, then restart and take about another hour to come to a login screen. It's a horrible experience. But I do have audio after that so OK, whatever, I guess there's nothing much more I can do. Your issue could well be what is mentioned above or maybe just some other setting like fast startup...I wish you well, it isn't fun to go through.

^ ^  This.

+1. This is one of the first optimisations you should make. Also, make sure HDDs never sleep and that CPU never gets throttled.
 
I just have my screen set to turn off after 20 mins of inactivity and that hasn't caused any issues and just switches back on with a touch of the mouse, but don't use a screensaver! That's the only power saving feature I have enabled.

What do you do, just shut it down every night?

As in never turn the pc off, just let it run?

My mosheens are always on.  The only thing I turn off is the lights when I leave the room.  And long ago I downgraded the PC that came with Win10 preinstalled back to Win-7 home premium.  Win10 and I don't get along.

Neither do I and win 10...it installed onedrive last night without my permission during the update...

Thanks to everybody here, I really appreciate the advice.

Cutting off the screensavers and HD standby is the best option for now, until I find out what is causing the problem.
Upon stopping the screensaver, and then cutting off the computer, and then rebooting the computer It says the hardware device connect to the Cakewalk program is missing. I go into the Sonar driver page and the hardware drivers are missing upon reboot as if the hardware driver didn't load after that screensaver activated even tho I rebooted the computer.

It could be some type of setting doing this in relation to screensaver that could be changed, or it could be the process of screensaver causing WIN 10 to react this way. But for now I will disable the screensaver and HD sleep for now, until I can research more editing options. 

I wonder if there is some autosave function in Sonar that can be disabled as to not save any edits if anything is being auto saved in screensaver mode?
