Like the computer would go to sleep like normal (S3) and then I'd wake up to at least 80 percent battery. Now? All I have is hibernate. Man, as bad as Windows is and always has been, I can't believe it's somehow getting worse with time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rikonium@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago* Some BIOS updates remove the S3 option so that's possible. It's also possible that Modern Standby was working before and something changed which broke sleep for you. You can run a Sleep Study (instructions on the web) to see how your computer has been sleeping but it sucks that you'd have to resort to that. permalink fedilink source parent
