Surface Pro 4 Pen needs to be re-bluetooth paired after waking up/turning on surface

Hello, 

My surface pro 4 pen needs to be re-paired via bluetooth after the computer has been sleeping/hibernating in order for the eraser button to function when clicked.  It still shows up as a connected device in the bluetooth settings, and still writes properly even when the eraser button does not work.  After removing the pen from the list of connected devices and re-pairing, everything seems to work properly but this is obviously inconvenient. Thanks for any help you can offer!

    it will take longer - and there will be multiple restarts. plan on anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours. it will take a while to download..

    Hi Barb, Will the  Creators Update and the first Cumulative Update be available on April 11 for normal customers. Is the launch same worldwide (I live in Australia).
