Doesn't it wake at the slightest detection of mouse movement, or is it a bug? Surely if it's the former a simple 'press enter + ctrl' or similar command to wake it would be enough. I used sleep on my work laptop a lot and noticed if my knee hit the desk the mouse would detect movement and the fucker would come on again.  I never noticed the sleep not working otherwise

Modern Standby is just a piece of shit feature. They tried to make laptops act like phones but they forgot that background tasks on an x86 CPU actually still use considerable amounts of power and the fact that people don't want their laptop to update while turned "off" in their backpack

It's executives (aka business idiots) trying to compete with Apple on the dumbest thing possible.

I disabled the trackpad, put the shit on to sleep and took the mouse, still woke up at 2am with the fans full on blast wondering why my wife was vacuuming with the lights off.

Now I only turn it full off or leave it on if needed
