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!

    No change in this area. It will still say: Surface.

    Hi Barb, sorry to confuse you, a friend of mine said that instead of it saying Surface on startup screen, it will show windows logo, if I download it now. 

    He said something and I may not have clearly understood him.

    Sorry once again for any confusion

    I don't understand your question. All of the Surface functionality will remain.

    Since this is from Microsft page to download now, will the system be changed from surface to Windows?

    I installed the update manually by following the link on the windows update section under settings.

    I had to do a couple of reboots to get the pen button to function correctly.

    I have been using the surface for 24 hrs and the pen button still functions correctly after returning from hibernation or sleep modes.

    Thank you Microsoft, just a shame you hadn't owned up to the bug earlier.
