This should be the highest priority for Microsoft and Intel. It's a deal breaking problem for any non-Apple laptop. It doesn't matter if the laptop looks sleek and has windows hello and has gaming specs if the damn sleep function is broken. The frustrating thing is that I don't even want any of the features it provides. When I shut the lid, the machine should sleep, halt all processing, until I reopen it. It's not a hard-to-understand concept. I don't need updates in the background. I'll install them when I can. I don't need notifications; I'll use my phone for that.

Modern standby is absolutely useless in the best case. And devastating to usability in the worst. Just nuke it, go back to normal sleep. Or at least give an option to users!
