If I open Peg last, after all other programs are up and running, looks like the problem disappears.

Very odd problem under Win 10. Occasionally after bootup or coming out of sleep, some mouse and keyboard functions don't work. For instance, can click with mouse to open programs, but clicking on minimize/restore or other functions within programs does nothing. Same with the keyboard, works in some areas and not in others. So far, the only solution I've found is to close Peg. After Peg is shut down, everything works normally again. Can then re-open Peg and experience no further problems. It's a mystery to me - any idea what Peg might have to do with all this?

What you describe sounds a little like a Pegasus Mail popup notice has focus but is not visible.  

Do you have Pegasus Mail configured to notify of new mail with a telltale window?

Do you ever see a connection failure notice when you wake up the PC? (a regular occurrence on my Win7 laptop)

Also, I am curious if the mouse/keyboard behavior changes depending

on whether the main Pegasus Mail window is maximized or windowed.

Regarding Brian's questions on this thread, I always get the "failure to connect" after a period of sleep mode, and I am on Windows 10, so problem hasn't gone away.  Originally on Windows 7 & 8, I had DNS similar problems.Those I solved by making my POP3 and SMTP service domains into local DNS entries.  I think that Winsock chain of routines is getting broken along the line. A restart of Pegasus Mail has always worked for me.

I haven't seen such an issue on any Windows system I used so far (Win7 being the last one here). Pegasus Mail shouldn't try to access the Internet before the WLAN connection has been reestablished, of course.

Michael,

That assumes that Pegasus Mail was informed of the close down of the existing Internet connection. As far as I can tell, when entering sleep mode, existing tasks such as Pegasus Mail are simply put to Sleep mode, and are supposed to continue when the main system Sleep is ended.  I think that a Dll pointer or some other component are not being shutdown, or re-established when the task is restored. Pegasus Mail is correctly reporting a failure to connect, and the cure is simply to click OK and re-attempt the operation (such as fetch mail), where a new connection is then built.

Peg is set to refresh new mail only manually (every -1 seconds).  Occasional connection failure on wakeup, but no notice appears. Unable to change window state using corner buttons, need to right-click taskbar icon and then click Peg - this works, problem clears up immediately.

It still sounds to me like something has focus and clicking the taskbar icon brings the focus back to Peg.  Don't understand why just clicking the Peg window doesn't work though. 

Grasping at straws...  Win10 is both keyboard/mouse and touchscreen compatible so could it be a configuration in Win10 that it is expecting touchscreen?  I don't know why this would only affect Pegasus Mail though.  As I said, grasping at straws.
