I was trained by MS that sleep mode functionally doesn't exist on Win PCs and that updates need to be installed eventually. So every day when I finish working I simply power off and optionally update laptop and PC and that plus morning boot wastes maybe a few minutes on a laptop, even less on faster PC. I honestly don't see why people are making such a big fuss about this, as to warrant wasting thousands of dollars and a lot of hours of time to switch operating systems. And MacOS by reviews is not without its quirks and issues, they are just different.
- TacticalCoder 4y ago> So every day when I finish working I simply power off... This. At least I'm not alone. It's not rocket science.
- userbinator 4y agoNot everyone wants to spend dozens of minutes trying to get everything they were working on opened again to where they were after turning the machine back on. The same reason forced reboots are an absolute disaster for productivity.
- QuarterReptile 4y agoIn case you haven't explored the thread, the function you're looking for is hibernate, which saves RAM to disk, shuts down, then on reboot restores your session.

- mixmastamyk 4y agoThe function is called s3 sleep which has worked fine since the nineties.
- lbwtaylor 4y agoSleep exists because people want it, it's convenient -- they just expect it to work correctly.
- pedro2 4y agoEnglish word suspend is available on menu. The functionality is there. If resume from suspend breaks 3 times in a row, disable, enable hibernate. If working, after 30 mins suspend, awake, do hibernate. If fails 3 times, always use hybrid suspend. If this functionality does not exist is because resources are being misallocated. If they don't want to support suspend: REMOVE the option.
