So when I first attempt to wirelessly connect my Microsoft surface to my laptop so I can use the Surface as a secondary monitor, it works fine. However, as soon as my laptop goes to sleep (whenever I take a bathroom break), the connection is broken and the Surface is not discoverable anymore even after restarting both mobile devices.
