    My Acer laptop battery drains while in standby screen closed.


    I have run both the battery report and the sleep study but neither one recognizes the discharge that occurs during sleep. So I am not getting any info there on the possible cause. Connected Standby is not supported, per the report. Typical scenario is I close the laptop in the evening with 60% battery left. Starting in the am it initially reports ~60% but within a minute it refreshes that to something close to zero and abruptly goes into hibernation. Any clues to TS this?

    the battery is getting drained

    I don't know.

    If you checked it really was sleeping when you thought it was then I'd suggest running a battery report to see how degraded the battery is.

    Best of luck,

    High battery drain during Modern Standby sleep, no obvious culprit

    I take a different approach from Denis. Rather than trying to disable Modern Standby I adapted it to suit my needs.

    I have two 'almost new' laptops. One supports Modern Standby, the other (cheaper) one doesn't.

    While I cannot remove Modern Standby, I could tame it. To save on battery power I like all my laptops to sleep (or standby) on closing the lid, then hibernate after 20 minutes if I don't return to them.

    My first step was to reduce power drain in modern Standby by disabling network connectivity in Modern Standby.

    Enable or Disable Network Connectivity in Modern Standby in Windows 10

    Next I set Hibernate after in Power Options. This setting is missing by default on a Modern Standby install of Windows 10/11, so first add it back.

    Add or Remove Hibernate after from Power Options in Windows

    Then I could make my Modern Standby laptop behave like all my other machines.

    My Acer laptop battery drains while in standby screen closed.

    the battery is getting drained

    i have:-
    The following sleep states are available on this system:
    Standby (S3)
    Hibernate

    it also says:-
    Standby (S0 Low Power Idle)
    The system firmware does not support this standby state.

    so why was the battery getting drained when the laptop was sleeping?
