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

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Sleep and Power on, off

    If you turned on 1000000000+ processes on your Tower PCs or Client Operating System Based Servers.

    Your UPS will die soon.

    -- We know that modern stand by is not only works with laptop PCs.

    hi - as a "side effect" by disabling modern standby which i managed to do, now the FN keys no longer work when the PC comes back to sleep.

    with modern enabled they work.

    This happened on a newer computer a Zenbook, on my older Vivobook, it works fine with FN keys always working when resuming from sleep.

    drivers, etc all up to date, new machine - this is the only "minor" issue i have.

    if you restart or shut down they work again.

    thanks

    Modern Standby does everything S3 does with additional features. This article may be helpful.
