Esc key to wake from Suspend.

Do you know which update triggered the changes ?

I don't use any form of suspend or hibernate so can't really comment on that.

For me, when inserting USB drive the system reflects the setup chosen in the options.
It auto mounts, presents an icon for the drive on the desktop and opens the file manager.
This behaviour has been consistent - regardless of updates.

Check your settings by
Click Menu
Begin typing 'Removable' in the search box
When you see 'Removable Drives and Media' click it
If necessary, change the ticks to your requirement.

The desktop icon appearing may need setting under this
Right click on desktop
Click Desktop Settings
Select the 'Icons' tab
Ensure tick against 'Removable Devices'
