Yes, scratching my head I've spent a few frustrating days with this nonsense: the idiocy of solutions like is really beyond imagination: DELL decided to remove that "disable S0" option from the BIOS and MS decided to enforce the S0 onto the user => DELL insomnia! The notebook overheats and runs and runs until the battery is empty or it burns down the notebook-bag including your car. It's NOT possible to disable the S0 and it's NOT possible to enforce S3. It's only possible to buy a non-DELL notebook, if you must use Windows - under Linux, it's possible to enforce S3, not so under Windows anymore. 2020, I can't believe it...
How-to disable Modern Standby in Windows 10 May 2020 update?
good old registry hack does not work anymore:
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power] CsEnabled=0
- deleted [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\ModernSleep]
PC still uses "Standby (S0 Low Power Idle) Network Connected" and it makes a lot of problems

> Modern Standby does everything S3 does with additional features.
You meant it's supposed to do it all, didn't you? ;-) Let's hope it will... one day, and we're in no rush thanks to the HW makers that do listen and leave S3 there as a truly working alternative despite that push to withdraw it.

2020-07-21T12:40:21+00:00 After installing build 2004 I immediately noticed that going to sleep means 50/50 BSOD+reboot or wake up. I have real concerns about the sanity of MS leadership as Windows 10 is one big public alpha-stage project.
Same problem on a Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 6.
