Steps to reproduce

I can't provide the exact steps to get this warning. I saw this warning after I put my computer to sleep and have woken it up after ~1 hour, before that I had Discord and Hell Let Loose opened, along with some other apps running in the background. I didn't notice the warning before I put the computer to sleep, so it probably must have happened as Windows was doing its thing making my computer asleep.
