About this tag
The suspend issues tag on WindowsForum.com covers problems where Windows or Linux systems fail to suspend, resume, shutdown, or reboot cleanly. Recent discussions highlight a specific AMDGPU display-driver deadlock, tracked as CVE-2026-68364, which can freeze a machine during these operations when an Idle State Manager worker is active. Video playback is a common trigger, but the underlying race condition involves suspend colliding with pending AMD display power-management work. The fix is included in Linux kernel 7.1.6 and later on the 7.1 stable branch. This tag is useful for users experiencing similar freezes, especially on AMD hardware, and for those tracking kernel updates and security advisories related to suspend and resume reliability.
