the Tablet itself Connected/Modern Standby was working well without problem, testing method was using Microsoft Groove Music Apps playing music saved at local drive, when enter standby mode, the music and whole playlist would still playing continuously, another method was using TuneIn Radio Apps, streaming radio station from internet via wifi, when enter standby mode, the radio would still playing continuously.

    Hi @Alpha_Tay,

    Could you check something for me on your tablet? Please open an elevated Command Prompt window - locate the Command Prompt shortcut on your Start menu, right-click it, and select "Run as administrator". When the Command Prompt window opens, it should show "Administrator: Command Prompt" in the title bar.

    In this window, please enter the following command and report back the results to me:

    powercfg /availablesleepstates

    I'm mostly interested in what it says regarding the S0 Low Power Idle state, which is the state that Windows 10 Modern Standby uses.

    Also, how exactly do you enter standby mode on your tablet? Do you just press the power button on the side of the tablet, or do you select a sleep mode on the Start menu, or some other method?

    Regards,

    hi, oh i see. i think the changelog didnt state it clearly and i misunderstood it. i also forgot that only windows store apps that specifically built for Connected/Modern Standby would support Connected/Modern Standby, windows desktop software would not support Connected/Modern Standby.

    since i use this tablet preloaded with windows 8, and windows 8.1 upgrade, and windows 10 upgrade, teamviewer always comes online immediately in a matter of second after the device is woken up. take several minutes to come back online doesn't happen on this tablet.

    thx for the reply and help.

    You're right, it probably could have been stated more clearly! :) And yes, the main issue here is that only supported Windows Store apps are able to remain online and running when the device is in standby. Desktop programs like the full version of TeamViewer therefore cannot.

    Good to know that TeamViewer comes back online so quickly on your tablet anyway.
