I've experienced this and arrived at the same solution as Linus' team recommends: unplug laptop, then close lid. This worked for Dell, HP, and Microsoft Surface branded laptops ever since S0 was introduced in Windows 8 or was it 8.1? Either way. It's even sillier when using a dock with the lid closed: unplug, open lid until screen wakes, then close lid. The real shame here is that the supply chain seems to be moving away from supporting S3, as the video notes, with hardware (CPU or motherboard) and firmware support disappearing in newer models.
