Disabling Modern Standby will be safe for your hardware provided that you can use S3 Sleep.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p >\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header plus\">Why Doesn't the Registry Way Work?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"accordion-panel\">\n<p class=\"accordion-content aio-answer-block\">Some modern laptops do not have the ability to use S3 Sleep at the firmware level. Hence, Windows is unable to activate it via the registry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p >\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header plus\">Would Turning Off Modern Standby Extend Battery Life?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"accordion-panel\">\n<p class=\"accordion-content aio-answer-block\">Yes. In some cases, S3 Sleep uses less energy when the system is inactive for an extended time, like overnight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p >\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header plus\">Could I Activate Modern Standby Later?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"accordion-panel\">\n<p class=\"accordion-content aio-answer-block\">Yes. Just remove the PlatformAoAcOverride registry value, or you can activate it via the BIOS settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p >\n<h3 class=\"accordion-header plus\">Is Hibernate Better Than Modern Standby?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"accordion-panel\">\n<p class=\"accordion-content aio-answer-block\">Yes. In Hibernate mode, your laptop uses almost no battery power because it turns off and saves the session on disk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<h3 ><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p ><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Modern Standby was meant to enable Windows laptops to work more like smartphones in that it allows them to stay online even while in sleep mode. It can, however, cause some devices to waste a lot of battery power, heat up and even wake up suddenly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your computer can use the traditional S3 Sleep state, opting for disabling Modern Standby will allow you to enjoy sleep mode that is more reliable and efficient. Should your hardware be able to use only the S0 Low Power Idle state, you can ensure better performance of the battery by eliminating network operations while sleeping, wake timers, updating drivers and using Hibernate if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction With the help of Modern Standby, users can synchronize emails, receive notifications, and download updates even if their PC looks like it is sleeping.
