I am using Ubuntu 18.04.2. I use a TV thru HDMI and the adjustment for TV. It looks great.

When I start in they AM there is usually the favorites bar on the left that displays my favorite programs. After a few times when the computer has gone into sleep mode (or whatever that is called) and I log back in, the bar on the left is gone and I have to hit "Activities" at the top for it to show up.

I would like it to always be there. I went into "display" settings and the "Auto-hide the Dock" is off. That seems to be the only thing that sounds like it should apply.

Does anyone know what to do?

The always visible "favourites bar" is provided by the GNOME shell extension Ubuntu Dock (package name: gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock). As per GNOME's security policy, whenever your system is suspended (goes to sleep), all the extensions get disabled automatically until you get back in, and then the extensions get re-enabled. Somehow it's failing here for the Ubuntu dock extension in your case.

As a temporary workaround either restart your system (or log out and log in again) or simply restart GNOME shell by pressing Alt+F2, then typing r, and finally hitting Enter.
