Bug: Applications can crash after sleep/hibernation if uses dedicated graphics

Problem appears in Chrome/VSCode/Desktop

 

After returning from Sleep mode/Turned off screen application can crash. Disabling of GPU acceleration in App helps. Looks like problem in Power Managment - Dedicated GPU  is disabled for sleep and after waking up application can't find device and crashes. Problem appears on Laptops with dual Graphics - in my case on Asus TUF Gaming and current Lenovo Legion Pro gen. 8 - both are on AMD processors, but TUF was on AMD Graphics, Lenovo has 4060. On APU Laptops or PCs with single graphics no such problem was found.

    I disabled "Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling" and that stopped all crashes when waking up from SLEEP mode.  Also recovery from SLEEP mode seems to be faster as is my connection to the Internet.  I checked out the graphics benefits of "Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling" and they seem to be NONE.  I suggest MS eliminate this option so performance conscious users (like myself) aren't fooled into using this harmful feature.
