40+ years of laptop computing and sleep is still a problem !!!
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's some really important stuff it needs to do, so it wakes up the machine, does a bunch of stuff, and doesn't get back to sleep.
Windows, you'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't.
(I also thought S0ix was supposed to fix all of this ...)
One of them was an HDMI audio driver, which wasn't completely a surprise given I connect to a KVM and I imagine something was weird about the connection (and I don't listen to audio through my monitor anyway)
The other was the realtek/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.
