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.
