I had never heard about "Modern standby" until recently. As I understand now (thank you to the issue I faced with my laptop was caused not by a bug, but rather by a normal feature of the operating system. So what to do? How can I make my network connection keep to be active even when the system goes into "Modern Standby"?Īlright. And this mode has a bigger priority than power settings. But for now, it seems the download process is interrupted, as soon as the system goes into "Modern Standby".Īs I understand if the "Modern Standby" mode was enabled in the system (obviously it was enabled even though I don't remember I was asked about this option during system setup), I can't disable it. In a couple of hours, I want to see the file downloaded when I come back. I want to lock my system and go on my business. For example, if I download something really big, let's say a file of 40 Gb, I don't want to seat in front of my laptop. I want my device to keep doing whatever it does even when the system is locked. So this is a feature, not a bug? Actually I don't mind my laptop goes into this "Modern Standby" mode.
This is a feature of Windows, called Modern Standby. And my network connection has the following settings "Never disconnect from the network, if the computer is in sleep mode or work from the battery":
However, I can see this settings in another place in Windows settings. On your screenshot you have 7 tabs, I have only 6. But I use the Russian language UI of Windows, therefore everything is in Russian.Īs regards the power settings for my wireless adapter, it simply doesn't have such an option.
Anyway, these are the screenshots you requested. I don't know why, but the forum engine did not send me any notification that somebody had written an answer in my topic. Please provide the power plan setting and advanced power options screenshot Because the notebook works excellent except this issue.ĭid anybody here experienced the same issue? I don't think this is a hardware problem. The best their advice sounds like: "We think you have a hardware problem, therefore please contact the nearest service center". Official Asus support from Moscow was not capable to help me. When I reset the system, the problem came back. Because when I remove Intel and Nvidia drivers, which came from the box, and replaced them with Windows Standard Video Driver, the problem went away.
My short investigation makes me think, that the problem has something to do with video drivers from Asus. It happens even with absolutely virgin system, just installed from the hidden partition of the notebook. It happens no matter I use battery or AC. If I set appropriate screen settings at "Never" (never turn off the screen), then everything is fine: I lock the system, the screen is never off, the system is never sleep. Every time when I lock the system (press Win+L or simply F9), if screen settings are set to turn off the screen in any time (2, 5, 10 and so on minutes), the system goes into sleep mode even though power settings are set to forbid going into sleep mode. From the very beginning, I found one strange thing. I have a brand new Asus ZenBook UX534FTC. Description: UX534FTC goes into sleep mode as soon as the screen is off.
