I think it depends on your motherboard if it fully supports Modern Standby
I think it depends on your motherboard if it fully supports Modern Standby
Some info on Modern Standby requirements.
"The number of systems capable of S0 low power idle model is increasing and more systems are expected to use the always on, instantly available power model instead of the traditional S3/S4 power model. The Modern Standby section outlines important changes, partner requirements, and best practices for enabling Modern Standby."

Thanks. This document is actually intended for computer manufacturers (laptop, ready-made desktop computer or motherboard), users are unlikely to use it. I just want to know if it is possible for the drivers to block the ability to enable S0 mode, and if so, how to detect these problematic drivers
Why don't you just emulate most of S0 by setting your monitor to turn off after NNN minutes?
- That one simple action will get 90% of the job done. The rest might not be worth bothering with.
- And you'll retain the ability to use S3 Sleep whenever you want it [unlike most S0-capable computers such as one of mine].

I know that I have such an option, but I do not really mean it, and I have S3 support so I am not afraid of losing it. I want to explore the S0 issue itself, i.e. how it works, what can block the inclusion of this mode, etc.
OK, I found out from the manufacturer of my motherboard that it was wrong earlier and my motherboard does not support it
Hi,
Yep primarily for laptops and oem's that create a special power plan for it's use.
I have a z490 and 10900k and it's probably not compatible with this feature mainly because it's not an oem laptop lol
