If it does not support anymore S3 mode, yes 😕
The insane thing is that it was working a few weeks ago but then it randomly went away. Like the computer would go to sleep like normal (S3) and then I'd wake up to at least 80 percent battery. Now? All I have is hibernate. Man, as bad as Windows is and always has been, I can't believe it's somehow getting worse with time.
Some BIOS updates remove the S3 option so that's possible. It's also possible that Modern Standby was working before and something changed which broke sleep for you. You can run a Sleep Study (instructions on the web) to see how your computer has been sleeping but it sucks that you'd have to resort to that.
