Is your PC "Modern Standby" Valid ?

[ForgottenSeer 85179]

Enabling the low power consumption and connectivity capability of modern standby is a test and validation challenge for the system integrator. All components in the system—hardware and software—must work together to quickly turn power on and off while being able to maintain connection to the network.

Starting with Windows 8, the modern standby power model enables applications to stay fresh, up-to-date, and reachable whenever the user has allowed them to always run in the background and a suitable network is available. For more information, see Modern Standby.

Windows supports modern standby only on low-power PC platforms that include low-power hardware and meet Windows Certification requirements. Systems that are not specifically designed for modern standby continue to use the traditional PC power model, which is fully supported in Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. This section pertains only to PCs that implement the modern standby power model. It does not provide test guidance for PCs that implement the traditional ACPI Sleep (S3) system power state.

Overview of Modern Standby Validation

This section describes test and validation best practices for system designers and integrators who are building Modern Standby PCs. (overview-of-modern-standby-validation)

Verifying if a system is Modern Standby capable:
You can use the powercfg /a command (in CMD or Powershell window) to identify if a system supports Modern Standby.


My result:

Spoiler

Disabled "sleep" on here as waking the machine would lose the undervolt. Hibernation.sys was deleted.

I turn off the monitor, the machine goes into a low power state anyway, which is good.

Too old (2015) and hibernation disabled gives you this:

I remember...long time ago when you have to pummel HLT command to CPU to keep it cool. Mebbe it was old Cyrix 686. Oh well...

I got the same result as @sepik @Spawn @plat1098 and @Gandalf_The_Grey , due to the age of my system.

Which means if-not-else in coding side

Do 2019 or newer Laptops with hibernation enabled share different results?

I presume so. But I don't have any recent model laptops to test right now.
