Symptoms

Cause

This problem occurs because of an issue in the Windows Inking Service Provider service that is used by Windows Journal. The service does not detect correctly the power state change of the touch controller hardware that occurs when the system transitions into and out of sleep mode. This breaks communication between the Windows Inking Service Provider and the touch controller until the application is restarted and the connection is reestablished.
