Windows 10: Create Sleep Shortcut For Modern Standby PC

Greetings, I am wondering if anyone knows how to create a sleep shortcut for a PC on 20H2 in modern standby. The old S3 shortcut and variants do not work with modern standby. rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0 etc I'm aware of the PlatformAoAcOverride key to switch back to S3 but I had wake issues. The only thing I'm lacking is a sleep shortcut. Can the "Actual" Sleep in the power menu not be recreated or a shortcut be made ? Thanks

:)

No.

You cannot create the ability to S3 sleep if your computer does not support S3 sleep. If that Registry hack to suppress S0 Modern standby gives you unfortunate side-effects*** then you cannot use S3 at all.*** With my only S0 Modern standby computer, I had network problems after using that hack so I also had to undo the change and live with the S0 Modern standby curse. I think S0 Modern standby was created for the sole purpose of upsetting users.
The closest you are going to get is a hibernate shortcut
Code:

As you probably already know, you can run
Code:

to check which sleep states are supported on your computer.

Can't enable Modern Standby

You need an exclusively UEFI PC (without Legacy support) for Modern/Connected, at least it's what I've heard. I guess if that Z390 doesn't have it, I am not really expecting any consumer desktops to implement it, I assume it would require manufacturers to kinda rewrite their BIOS. It is also indirectly suggested on Anandtech that the feature depends on the onboard WiFi:

Personally I love my Ethernet cables and 1Gbit speeds, and WiFi would be the last thing I'd do to my PC, but I would like to test this feature when I buy a new PC, since Z370 is clearly out of question. Considering that Z390 basically has onboard WiFi and Z370 doesn't , it further solidifies this as a potential WiFi only feature. Maybe it's possible for the PC to switch to WiFi for Connected Standby and then back to wire after it wakes up? That would be nice.

Edit: there's also this:
"Modern Standby is only available on some SoC systems. When it's supported, the system does not support S1-S3."

Yeah... S3 is the "normal" standby. So if your firmware manufacturer supports that, it's bye-bye Modern? Ouch.
