Doing so will bring the "classical" sleep mode back. So, if InstantGo mode is not reliable for you, you might want to try to disable it. When you sleep, you are not expected to react to any external events, right? So should your laptop, otherwise, this mode cannot be named as "sleep mode" any more as it makes no sense. I think that here, by trying to enforce this mode by default instead of "classical" sleep mode, Microsoft made a poor decision. Why there is no obvious way to configure it?.There is no doubt that such a mode might be useful for someone, but I cannot understand two things about it: There were users, who reported similar problems even on the hardware which was designed by Microsoft (aka Sleep of Death). A quick search revealed that I am not the only one who have experienced similar problems. This mode might look great on paper, but the fact is that laptop hardware significantly differs from the hardware of hand-held devices. This is why this mode used to be named as Connected Standby. It should be noted that network connections remain active so a user still would not miss any notifications in programs like Skype, Facebook Messenger, Steam, mail client, etc. This mode is available on newer hardware and allows to put it in a less power consuming mode while disabling some of the internal devices in a way very similar to how smart-phones and tablets do. On my laptop the problem turned out to be in InstantGo mode (formerly named as Connected Standby). Please, keep it in mind and proceed at your own risk! Caveat Lector.Īfter some research, I found a solution. Moreover, this kind of problems might be a result of failing hardware or buggy drivers. Otherwise, feel free to continue, but remember that as Windows-powered hardware is diverse and it is impossible to provide a fix which would work reliably for anyone. If you haven't encountered any problems with sleep mode on your hardware - this article is not for you. Probably I have a solution for you worth investigating. If you have newer hardware and ever encountered the issues when your Windows-based laptop will not go into sleep mode or will not wake up reliably, or you would put your laptop into sleep mode only to find two hours later that it is active and hot in your backpack - please, continue reading.
The fix was rather illogical and it is impossible to accomplish via settings in the graphical user interface tools provided by the Windows operating systems. Sleep mode is an important feature for me, so this state of affairs was not acceptable. Recently I have encountered a problem while using a new laptop - sleep mode did not work reliably.
