I read a while ago that Microsoft supposedly fixed the sleep functions on Windows 11. I put my laptop to sleep, put it down and when I come back it's a steaming furnace, and it wont wake up. I have to power down and restart it. Is there any way to fix this so it works correctly?

Going by the number of posts in this, and multiple other forums across the net, probably no. A real lottery.

When my laptop acted like that with S0 modern standby sleep I had to ditch the latest NVIDIA drivers from their site and go back to the Dell factory NVIDIA and Intel drivers. No more issues with sleep once I stick with the Dell factory GPU drivers. I have the 5080 GPU.

It seems that the older the hardware, the more of a problem there is. My two systems are working fine with S0, Modern Standby.
