Windows 10: Do people actually like Modern Standby S0 Sleep on their laptops?

I don't see any advantages on using it. Music when the laptop is sleeping, really? Updates that toast my bag? It sucks that I cannot disable it.I'm now stuck hibernating my computer because I lose 10% of battery an hour. I don't know, what do you guys think of it?

How do I re-enable my modern standby sleep mode (S0)?

Modern standby (S0) is indeed designed to allow for faster wake times, which can be convenient for many users. However, one drawback is that it doesn't allow the PC to fully shut down, which means it may continue consuming some power even when in sleep mode. Additionally, some users have reported issues with laptops becoming excessively hot when placed in their backpacks while in modern standby mode.

On the other hand, S3 sleep mode is a deeper sleep state where the system is essentially powered down, resulting in lower power consumption. While wake times may be slightly longer compared to modern standby, S3 can be preferable for those who prioritize power efficiency and want to ensure their laptop doesn't generate excess heat during periods of inactivity. Here are the steps to enable Modern standby:

1. Open Registry Editor:
   
   • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
     
   • Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
     
2. Navigate to the Power Settings:
   
   • In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following path:
     
     
3. Modify the Registry Key:
   
   • Look for the PlatformAoAcOverride key.
     
   • If it exists, right-click on it and select Delete.
     
   • If it does not exist, you can skip this step.
     
4. Enable Modern Standby:
   
   • Open an elevated Command Prompt (right-click on Command Prompt and select "Run as administrator").
     
   • Enter the following command to delete the registry entry that disables Modern Standby:
     
     
5. Restart Your Computer:
   
   • Restart your computer to apply the changes.
     

Verify Modern Standby (S0) is Enabled

1. Open Command Prompt:
   
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
     
2. Run Power Configuration Command:
   
   • Type the following command and press Enter:
     
     
   • This command will list the available sleep states. Look for "Standby (S0 Low Power Idle)" to confirm that Modern Standby is enabled.

How do I re-enable my modern standby sleep mode (S0)?

I followed a youtube tutorial to get back the power plans, which I managed but it included enable S3 and disabling S0.

I have a HP laptop of 2023, I have little to very few knowledge about computing and systems.

I feel like that modern standby sleep mode is better for my recent laptop but I couldn't find any tutorial to re-enable the modern standby.

this is the youtube tutorial, i followed the cmd steps to enable S3.

Now I have access to the power plans but I'm not sure of what I'm missing by disabling S0 and now I'm slightly afraid of the changes i gave to my computer.

I understand that if i was to re-enable S0, i would only have balanced for power plans and I'm fine with that.

If you feel s3 is better than S0, please let me know.

 

How to enable S3 Sleep State and Disable Modern Standby (S0)

Hi,

I had checked this site already. The solution provided here disables the S0 modern standby, but it does not enable S3. (Meaning the sleep as a whole is removed itself)
