Modern Standby Fix

Modern Standby Fix is a handy tool that helps devices with ARM-based processors get better battery life and performance. You know how smartphones and Apple Silicon have become really good at multitasking and keeping things running smoothly? Well, laptops have been trying to catch up for ages! They aim to stay always-on and keep battery life going strong. But there’s a little hiccup in this plan.

Why Laptops Struggle

The main issue comes from the processors themselves. While ARM-based processors can do a lot, they sometimes need apps that are specially made for them. If not, those apps can be slower because they’re being emulated. This leads to manufacturers trying to bring features from phones to laptops by using sleep modes that cut power to the processor but still keep the memory running.

The Athena Project

Intel introduced something called the “Athena” project, which keeps the processor powered even while in sleep mode. This means your laptop stays connected to the internet and can wake up quickly. But there’s a downside: keeping everything powered can drain the battery faster than expected, especially when updates are running while you think your device is sleeping!

The Community's Response

Even though Microsoft hasn’t fixed this problem yet, users have started looking for workarounds. Some suggested unplugging their laptops before putting them to sleep or cutting off internet access while they're snoozing.
