My SP4 gets very hot and drains the battery very fast even though it is asleep. I found it very hot in its sleeve and down to 28% earlier today. Found it dead later in the afternoon. This is one of MANY issues this device has.
(My SP4 is not part of the insider program)

I think the latest win10 has some problem.
Except this problem I also had the problem of high CPU usage (35%).
It is due to the "windows search filter host".
And so ,the fan is always running and making noise.
Thanks for your input, but I don't think that's the same issue here. I'm not having an issue with the fun always running.
I looked at 4th connected standby issue and again, 16% graphics/12% cpu. The percentage is always the same, regardless of how long in standby. It could be 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours, the percentage is always the same. I'll post pictures tomorrow morning. Because of the consistent pattern, I'm wondering if there is some sort of app running in the background keeping it awake. Very odd, considering nothing is installed on it - just what came with the OS!
From the looks of it, this is an issue with the processor and graphics being kept from going into low power state, hence the CPU C0 time and Intel Graphics 520 time being the most. My event viewer shows nothing but the system entering and exiting CS, so there doesn't look to be any events preventing it from going to sleep.
I hope that MS solve this ASAP, I would like to be able to use this mode without losing all my battery.
Just to follow, this is my connected standby session from last night, the two hours before it slips into hibernate (essential due to me having an additional issue where the SP4 won't wake if left for many hours in CS).
