Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way
Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way
The Modern Standby feature in newer Windows PCs never seems to work right.

I have one laptop running Windows and I just changed the BIOS/UEFI setting so that closing the display turns off the computer.
Also handy for Linux distros with poor standby/sleep support.
Pretty drastic, I can imagine losing some work accidentally because of that (closing with improper connection to external monitor). Why not hibernate?
Really depends on your devices use case. That isn't my daily driver and the trade off of not having a dead laptop is worth it for my needs of this device.
It is pretty reliable. In all Windows 10 years I have never had any issue with that method as well. Besides, I save often.
