That's a Windows issue. The recent active sleep (or whatever it's called) has been buggy across basically all hardware.

omg is this a thing? i thought i was dumb or something.
i bought an expensive 240hz qd oled and i kept coming into my office with the damn thing on without the screensaver, just burning in after having left it asleep.
i’m so paranoid i just turn the whole computer off now.
Yup, it's extremely broken for software reasons. I see this across multiple Dells and ThinkPads. Linux has no problems sleeping on them. Windows just wakes up randomly on its own or never goes to sleep. Sleepstudy debugging doesn't show any reason. You can do some hacks to force it to hibernate instead of sleep to work around some of those problems.
A long time ago, when I went to I think the Event Manager or something, it showed a Bluetooth event when my laptop woke up while it was in my backpack. I don't know if the Bluetooth software caused it, or after it woke up it did a Bluetooth thing.
I imagine Event Manager or whatever still exists for those that want to investigate after it happens.
I no longer use Windows and use Ubuntu instead.
Modern Standby https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/de...
Yes it's shit. I have a work laptop that have all sorts of problems. I would leave work and return the next morning to find that the laptop had a bluescreen and rebooted. Many times. So IT disabled modern standby. (Now it takes almost as long to boot as a cold start, but at least I don't lose my work.)
Although I have a personal laptop at home that seems to do fine. Still, that's nowhere as responsive as "instant on" experience as you would find on a Macbook. Of course, Microsoft lied again.
