System seems sluggish with some apps when returning from Sleep Hibernate

I always enjoy returning to this community forum site. It appears that I started a thread a few years ago that continues -- the "something towards a sticky . . . " thread. There is so much stuff on that thread from other people, I need to study it -- I'll learn something.
This is a casual inquiry in hopes someone will know something helpful. I have a lot on my plate -- caring for two disabled relatives, "sheltering in" through the COVID pandemic, keeping up my vegetable garden and our two vehicles. I'm getting old. There's a script-line from the Coen brothers' film "No Country For Old Men" -- an old lawman in a wheel-chair says near the end of the movie: "More is goin' out the door every day, and you jus' want to get a tourniquet on it . . . "
This Skylake-turned-Kaby-Lake system is the best I ever built or ever used -- five-year-old technology. I did something stupid in January, 2021. I was charging a cannabis vaping-pen on a USB port (do not do this!) So-Cal has Santa Ana winds at certain times, and the humidity drops to nothing. I was shuffling around on my wool carpet, and figured the vaping-pen was charged, so I reached for it. "Zap!" A static-charge release, and my motherboard USB controller died. Fixed that. Perfect ever since.
I try and assure that the Hibernation and Sleep functions work properly. They do, but I've noticed certain things about system performance when the system returns from sleep/hibernate. I'm using PrimoCache for 16GB of L1 and a 256 GB NVME L2.
When I return from Sleep/Hibernation, sometimes the software performance on the screen seems sluggish. My Quicken data files are stored on my networked server; sometimes, the drop-down boxes in my Windows Outlook are slow to respond to mouse-clicks. If I get impatient, I just close everything and restart the computer.
I can't tell if this is something related to PrimoCache, to ethernet-controller settings, Windows settings or something else. It is not any sort of hardware problem that I can imagine. I've posted this here, and will probably post the same inquiry at Anandtech forums. "Networking"? "Windows"? I can't be sure where it belongs.
Thank you.
