I dont even bother anymore. I just shutdown. Need me on my computer in 1 minute? Sorry.
With m.2s around it takes less than a minute to go from the start button to the desktop. Haven't put my pc to sleep since upgrading to that
My company's IT department: "hold my beer. Keep holding it. Now decrypting. Now opening spyware one to 20. Open random cmds that do nothing. Quick virus scan. An update? Better reboot in the next 5 min. The beer? It's warm now"
Ahh, yes. The unplanned lunch break when you need a hard reboot because your environment is fucky.
And that reboot after update is guaranteed, because you haven't restarted in weeks due to how long it takes
After all that you get to tinker around with their shit VPN client that only works during one phase of the moon.
I wish. Work issued me a previous gen zbook (well, it was over one year ago), and it takes forever before Windows is started and usable, and every month I have one more Window that I have to close on startup, for some reason.
Fuckin Teams opening my last chat in foreground when I log in, great design MS!
glances at the Dell Latitude E7450 issued to him over 8 years ago...
This has been a non issue for some time.
It takes less than 15 seconds for me to boot to desktop. If I put it in sleep mode I save about 5-10 seconds. Hardly worth it IMO.
Seriously, it takes longer for me to set up my windows again than it does for my computer to boot, and that probably could be solved too if I had the time. Forget sleep modes, they don't matter if the computer boots fast enough.
