There's a whole bunch of reasons I keep disabling modern standby on my laptop. (And that's 'keep disabling' because either Dell or Microsoft keep switching it back on after updates - note this is a Windows feature, not a Dell-specific thing).

[Edit: In addition, the reg key to disable it keeps changing from release to release...]

The two most annoying ones:

1 - while in the middle of a VoIP call via a wireless headset, lock laptop while walking away from desk to make a cup of tea in the next room, 30 seconds later laptop goes into 'standby', cutting off the call...

2 - WiFi never wakes back up properly out of modern standby, either disable/re-enable, or disconnect/reconnect works to bring it back perfectly ok.
