    I had Opus debug my laptop restarts. It pulled down windebug and pointed out the two drivers that were causing a problem.<p>One of them was an HDMI audio driver, which wasn&#x27;t completely a surprise given I connect to a KVM and I imagine something was weird about the connection (and I don&#x27;t listen to audio through my monitor anyway)<p>The other was the realtek&#x2F;intel driver for audio as well? (updated those) Never have had a problem again. Felt pretty good. Windows laptops are pretty awful about coming out of power save, but works like a champ now.

    The marketing tries to tell us that we&#x27;re on the brink of AGI, but still in 2026 putting a random laptop reliably to sleep remains an open problem.

    Thank you thank you thank you. Op and Diallo. I traced it to event 1033 but could not make head way any further. I ended up just disabling sleep entirely which did not help my electric bill when I could not shut down! <i>Edit</i> this worked on my desktop for further context.

    I swear most laptop sleep problems relate to wifi powersaving :(<p>(I also thought S0ix was supposed to fix all of this ...)

      I question the wisdom of &quot;Modern Standby.&quot; When I put my laptop in sleep mode, I want it to sleep. I don&#x27;t want it to be using the network, checking for updates, fetching email, etc. It can do all of those things when I wake it up.<p>All of the hotbagging nonsense where a laptop cooks itself in a bag seems to be caused by Windows trying to be clever and deciding there&#x27;s some really important stuff it needs to do, so it wakes up the machine, does a bunch of stuff, and doesn&#x27;t get back to sleep.<p>Windows, you&#x27;re not as clever as you think you are. None of this work is urgent. Just stay asleep until I wake you up. Seriously, just don&#x27;t.
