good old registry hack does not work anymore:

  1. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power] CsEnabled=0
  2. 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

    Similar solution, with a much clearer how-to instructions:

    Worked for my asus zenbook flip.

    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.

    Same problem on a Dell Latitude 5401.

    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...

    Or just try this ten times safer solution:

    reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power /v PlatformAoAcOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 0

    This doesn't work since good half year now. MS removed that backdoor registry hack setting.
