Windows 10: Sleep states and power drain 1909 build

Hello to the forum. Chasing power drain when sleeping (machine but perhaps also me). After checking this post ... Sleep States Available on your Windows 10 PC And producing some output from "powercfg"... I am a bit puzzled .. I understood that if this machine has "S0" capable then "S1-3" would not be available ..... And having checked that fast start is disabled ... Battery still drops to zero after a few hours in "sleep" (lid closed). There is no ethernet plugged in. There have been (and in last example were) a hard drive in a usb3 A port (power share? 'SS=' symbol) and a flash drive in the usb3 C port. Does "Sleep" not just switch those off ? Just an irritation, not the biggest problem.

:)

Paul,

Note that reading Custom view definitions in any text editor is the start of the road to bedlam.

Just for training purposes / future reference then -Unzip the Custom definition I posted,
open Event viewer,
on the right-hand side, click on Import Custom view then select the unzipped file,
it will ask you to give it a name - you can call it whatever you want, I call this one Power - Sleep-Hibernate transitions.
You'll then see the Custom view in the top set of entries in the left side of Event viewer. It shows you a lot more information than that list & is easier to comprehend because it is not full of entries about other topics.




Examples - EventID 1 - wake - General tab




Examples - EventID 1 - wake - Details tab



If those circled Hiber* entries are 0 then the wake has been from sleep
If those circled Hiber* entries are greater than 0 then the wake has been from hibernation


Examples - EventID 42 - sleep




Examples - EventID 131 - provides a count of the number of wakes since the last reboot [not useful very often but it can help in interpreting strange situations]






All the best,
Denis

Thank you Try3.
Your first line is one reason for posting this question ...
Did the battery report and have last full charge at 64,608 with design as 68,020.
I did post the power buttons in post one ... only sleep or shut down.
Started looking at event viewer...
Arranged by source and found ...
I have no "42" events.
I have plenty of "1" events.
Arranged by date and grabbed image ...
Attached image is for today's event spanning wake from sleep through sleep for some hours then attempted restart by lifting lid, followed by power cord connect and subsequent restart.



Thank you for help - Paul

EDIT: 42 events are not in power ... but now find plenty in Kernel-Power - but all as "information" without any warnings/errors.

- - - Updated - - -

Update from looking at that battery report ..
Attached image shows ...
Previous day was suspended for 15 hours and battery dropped from 61% to 54%.
Today was suspended for 5.5 hours and battery dropped from 39% to 1%.

So your suspicions probably correct over the usb power ... except that I "thought" both drives were plugged in overnight ... but cannot be certain now so will check bios and do a test.
