Listen friend, I was so concentrating on helping you I did not read every single word and you obviously did not scrutinizee your BIOS so that is the thanks I get for all the information I provided?...

I found this video and your sleep states options are easily identified under the power tab in your bios:

I looked at your mobo manual and they make mention of a sleep switch in the front and then a color indicating the sleep state:

Hmm... Lacking any response from the OP, I guess he found the option. Later team.

I have a UEFI BIOS and I have the ability to control the sleep states.

Here is the setting that controls it in my BIOS:
136990

If you give us your mobo specs, maybe I can look it up for you.

Open an elevated command prompt and type this message so we can see if the BIOS is allowing Windows to sleep:

powercfg -a

Here's mine with S3 sleep enabled:
136988

I really don't know. You'll just have to try it and see. Anyway, glad we could help a bit.

If the media creation software and/or rufus recognized the drive and completed the operation, it will most likely work.

The easiest way to finalize your concern is to just test it and see.

You are quite welcome. Glad we could help. In addition to the recommendation by cereberus, you could also try a lighter-weight AV solution. I use Avast Free and I do not suffer any throughput loss...
